Jonathan Taylor led the Indianapolis Colts to a 21-16 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, rushing for 110 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries. Trey Sermon added a score as the Colts (1-2) avoided their first 0-3 start since 2021.
The game was far from flawless, with Caleb Williams and Anthony Richardson throwing two interceptions each. On the bright side for Bears fans, Williams recorded his first NFL touchdown passes and set season-highs in passing yards. However, Richardson's performance left much to be desired, as he continued to make questionable decisions, finishing with two turnover-worthy plays.
