Colts RB Jonathan Taylor makes NFL history in London win

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor made NFL history in London on Sunday as he became the league's all-time leading rusher in international games. The matchup against the Washington Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium saw Taylor rushing for 95 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries, surpassing the 78-yard mark he needed to claim the record. This achievement pushed Taylor's career total in international games to 408 rushing yards.

Taylor's performance extended his impressive international record. Earlier in the game, his 5-yard touchdown was his fifth rushing score outside the United States, setting a new NFL record for international games. Later, he added another 5-yard touchdown, bringing his total to six international rushing touchdowns. Much of Taylor's international production came in Berlin last season, where he recorded 244 rushing yards against the Atlanta Falcons, an NFL single-game international record.

Taylor's strong showing during the international game helped the Colts improve their record to 2-2 and marked their third consecutive international victory. This victory followed wins in Frankfurt and Berlin.
