Limiting Jonathan Taylor is the first test. Eliminating the game-changing runs is the second. The Colts are just 3-6 all-time against the Jaguars with Taylor in the backfield, but all three wins have come when Taylor has gone for over 100 yards.

Colts' Taylor is the key test for Jaguars' elite run defense in Week 8.

The Jaguars' run defense must limit Jonathan Taylor, who drives the Colts' offensive success; the Colts are 3-6 all-time against Jacksonville with Taylor in the backfield, but all three wins came when Taylor exceeded 100 yards. The Jaguars rank second in the NFL in explosive rushing gains allowed (7 over six games) versus the Colts' eighth-ranked offense (23 explosive gains), making this a strength-versus-strength matchup where eliminating game-changing runs is critical.
