Jets vs. Colts: Preview, prediction, what to watch for

An inside look at the Jets-Colts Week 11 matchup on Sunday.Colts RB Jonathan Taylor vs.Jets defensive line The Jets’ biggest weakness on defense this season has been stopping the run, and now here comes Taylor to give them another challenge.

Taylor may not be the same back he was a few years ago, but he is still having a strong season.He has 616 rushing yards and five touchdowns in seven games.

He has gone over 100 yards in four games this season, including last week when he had 114 against the Bills. The Jets are 25th in the NFL against the run and have given up at least 100 yards rushing in five straight games and in eight of their 10 games this season.In 2021, Taylor torched them for 172 rushing yards and two touchdowns, the most that any back has gained against the team under defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich. “He feels like a guy that is a little bit of a renaissance of the guy that he was the first couple years in the league,” Ulbrich said.

The Jets control the game from wire to wire and intercept Richardson twice, including one from Sauce Gardner. Jets 27, Colts 17 Shot takers: The longest play the Jets offense had last week was 15 yards, and that was on a checkdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to running back Breece Hall.The offense had four drives of 10 plays or more and scored just two field goals.

They did not hit any of the explosive plays that lead to easy touchdowns.Can they...
