Fred Taylor will reach the 1,000-yard mark with 29 yards rushing against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night, and it will have only taken him 12 games to do it.
“Too bad the readers can’t see the smile on my face,” Taylor joked on Tuesday when he was asked about his track record against the Colts.
In 11 games against the Jaguars’ division rival, Taylor has rushed for 971 yards, his most rushing yards against any team in the league. Taylor has rushed for five touchdowns, a 5.0 yards-per-carry average and has caught 20 passes for 175 yards.
Taylor broke loose for a 76-yard gain on the Jaguars’ first offensive play of a 44-17 win over the Colts last December, and it was that play that began a rushing avalanche that produced 375 yards and the most embarrassing moment of the season for the Colts.
Those were the best of times for the Jaguars. A week later, they began a three-game tailspin that left them out of the playoffs.
“What we want to do is taste what Indy has tasted,” Taylor said, referring to the Super Bowl title the Colts went on to win. “This is the test. This is going to define this team and show our character.”
