Jonathan Taylor and the Colts top Athan Kaliakmanis and the Commanders in London
Key Points:
- The Indianapolis Colts defeated the Washington Commanders 30-13 in London, with Jonathan Taylor scoring two rushing touchdowns and Daniel Jones adding another on the ground.
- The Commanders were forced to rely on their third-string quarterback, rookie Athan Kaliakmanis, after starter Jayden Daniels and backup Marcus Mariota both left the game due to injuries.
- Kaliakmanis showed potential with some long completions, but the Commanders struggled overall, especially after losing wide receiver Jaylin Lane to an ankle injury.
- Daniel Jones struggled passing for the Colts, completing 19 of 34 attempts for 143 yards with an interception and a lost fumble, raising concerns about his performance.
- With the Commanders now 1-3 and uncertainty around their starting quarterback for next week’s game against the Giants, their season outlook appears challenging.
