What’s the key Jaguars- Colts matchup?  

Jaguars LB Foye Oluokun vs. Colts RB Jonathan Taylor 

Taylor is in the MVP conversation, leading the NFL with 1,282 yards and 15 touchdowns. In seven career games against the Jaguars, he has 718 yards and four TDs, but in four games in Jacksonville, he has been held below 100 yards each time, gaining 172 yards.  

Oluokun recently passed 1,000 career tackles in the NFL and is the team’s top run-stuffing linebacker. His main job will be to keep Taylor from getting to the second level and beyond and he’s done a good job of that so far. Before Taylor gained 177 yards in last year’s season finale, Oluokun helped hold him to 73 yards in two games before that.
