Jonathan Taylor ran for a 66-yard touchdown. There is a time and a place. Saturday is the first one. In his first game as interim coach of the Indianapolis Colts, he presided over a 25-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The Colts entered Sunday on a three-game losing streak and on the heels of the firing of fifth-year coach Frank Reich. He wasn't employed in the league when he was hired Saturday. Jim Irsay, the owner of the Colts, hired the six-time Pro Bowl selection to be an analyst for the team, even though he was already working as an analyst for the network. The team had said that quarterback Matt Ryan would be benched for the rest of the season, but he came back on Saturday. The All-Pro running back returned from an ankle injury and ran for over 100 yards. Ryan passed for 222 yards and a touchdown in his first game in three weeks. The Colts had to change their coaching staff on the fly this week and Saturday gave the detail work to the offensive assistants.
