  "account": "Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton has addressed trade rumors linking his team to Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. Speaking on Monday, Payton stated that he and general manager George Paton would explore ways to enhance the Broncos' roster, but he declined to comment on the gossip circulating online regarding a potential trade. The Broncos recently placed second-year running back RJ Harvey on injured reserve. Veteran running back JK Dobbins and rookie RB Jonah Coleman are currently leading the Denver backfield. Coleman assumed the No. 1 running back position in Week 8, recording a team-high 11 carries for 41 yards and a touchdown, while also contributing significantly with four receptions for 63 yards. In Sunday's 42-7 loss to the Jaguars, the Colts limited Taylor to just eight carries.",
