          LAS VEGAS -- Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor ripped off a 66-yard touchdown for his longest play of the season and the longest since a 67-yard run in Week 15 of the 2021 season.

          Taylor's run gave the Colts a 19-14 lead over the Las Vegas Raiders as the Colts try to go to 1-0 since the firing of coach Frank Reich and subsequent hiring of interim head coach Jeff Saturday.

          Taylor has been in and out of the lineup with ankle soreness, missing three of the Colts' past five games. But Taylor seems to be rounding into shape as he regains his health, and that showed up as he beat two defenders down the sideline on his way to the end zone.
