Colts RB Trey Sermon led the backfield in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, with Jonathan Taylor out. But that meant just 10 carries on a pass-heavy day. Sermon ran for 38 yards and added 25 more yards on 6 receptions. He beat RB Tyler Goodson 6-3 on targets (and catches) despite running three fewer routes. Goodson finished with 5-26 rushing and 3-31 receiving.
Indianapolis trailed for the entire second half -- and by 10 points for a lot of it. That didn't help the rushing game script. But even in the first half, the Colts passed at a roughly 2-1 rate.
It's clear that the team felt comfier leaning pass with Joe Flacco at QB and no Taylor in the backfield.
