From the article

Taylor is averaging fewer than 4 rushing yards per attempt and has yet to record 100 ground yards in a game this season. Plus, he's coming off the worst of his three efforts, a 68-yard, TD-less game in Week 3's slim win over Houston. Standing in his way in Week 4: a Washington unit that has been surprisingly stout in run defense, allowing just 246 yards through three weeks (third in NFL) at 3.8 yards per carry.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Taylor's career-worst efficiency faces elite Washington run defense in London.

Taylor is off to a career-worst start in efficiency, averaging fewer than 4 rushing yards per attempt and failing to record 100 ground yards in any game through three weeks; he's tied for the league lead in rushing attempts (66) but posted just 68 yards and no TD in Week 3's win over Houston. He faces a Washington run defense ranked third in the NFL (246 yards allowed through three weeks) with the league's best run stuff percentage (25%) and tied for third in limiting 10-plus yard runs (5 allowed). Despite his international pedigree—244 rushing yards and 286 yards from scrimmage in last year's Berlin game—Taylor must break his efficiency slump or the Colts risk falling behind Jacksonville in the AFC South.
