Colts Are 2-6 and Jonathan Taylor Says Teams Are ‘Foaming at the Mouth’: Why That Changes Everything About Their Season

The Indianapolis Colts are sitting on a brutal 2-6 record, and star running back Jonathan Taylor isn’t sugarcoating a single thing about it. After Sunday’s ugly 42-7 shellacking against the Tennessee Titans, Taylor laid out the cold, hard truth: it’s only going to get worse before it gets any better, if it even gets better at all.

“Foaming at the Mouth”: The Brutal Truth From Jonathan Taylor

Taylor didn’t mince words after that crushing loss. He knows the league sees the Colts as an easy target right now. “It’s not going to get any easier,” Taylor told reporters. “It’s actually going to get even harder. And teams are going to look at as even more like, foaming at the mouth.” That’s a stark image, isn’t it? He continued, painting a picture of desperation, “So then it comes to a point of like, ‘Hey, what are you going to do? Your back’s against the wall. What are you going to do? You’re gonna have to fight your way out of a corner. Like literally, fight your way out of a corner.’” It’s clear Taylor is not just talking about himself, but trying to fire up the whole locker room, trying to convey that fight-or-die mentality to his teammates.

Trade Talk Swirls as a “Fire Sale” Heats Up

The situation is so dire that Taylor himself is caught up in trade rumors. His name is popping up everywhere, and for good reason. The Colts have already kicked off a “fire sale,” making moves to clear house. Taylor, given his talent and the draft capital he could bring in return, is a logical player for them to move. If he does somehow remain in Indianapolis, he’s fully aware of the monumental challenge ahead. Taylor knows if he’s still there, the task for this 2-6 squad is nothing short of a “tall one.”

Whether he’s leading the charge or watching from a new city, Taylor’s message is loud and clear: the Colts are in a deep hole, and the rest of the NFL is lining up to push them even further down.
