Indianapolis Colts’<\/a> running back Jonathan Taylor led the NFL in total touchdowns during the 2025 NFL season.<\/p>\n

Between rushing and receiving touchdowns, Taylor totaled 20 on the year. Of those 20 touchdowns, 18 would come on the ground.<\/p>\n

This past season was another highly productive one for Taylor.<\/p>\n

His 1,595 rushing yards were the second-most in football. Taylor also ranked ninth in yards per rush attempt, and he tied for third in rushes of at least 10 yards, according to Pro Football Focus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All of that production from Taylor came without him producing a 100-yard rushing performance during the second half of the season.<\/p>\n

Out of the bye week, the Colts<\/a>‘ offensive line was unable to consistently carve out the same running lanes for Taylor as they did early on in the year. Fewer under-center snaps with Phillip Rivers at quarterback hindered the run game as well.<\/p>\n

Taylor has now rushed for over 1,400 yards in each of the last two seasons. He has surpassed 1,200 rushing yards in four of his six NFL seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jan. 7, 2026, 9:43 a.m. ET Indianapolis Colts’ running back Jonathan Taylor led the NFL in total touchdowns…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663358,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[95878,2005,7,2004,392,2381,6,49915,95900,95882,95903,95901,95896,95888,95895,95899,95902,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-663357","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-colts","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-indianapolis","12":"tag-indianapolis-colts","13":"tag-indianapoliscolts","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sstssportsnflcolts","16":"tag-sstsncolts","17":"tag-tagamerican-football","18":"tag-tagindianapolis-colts","19":"tag-tagjonathan-taylor","20":"tag-tagnational-sports","21":"tag-tagnfl","22":"tag-tagnfl-hub","23":"tag-tagoverall-neutral","24":"tag-tagsport-scores-statistics","25":"tag-tagsports-news","26":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115858649177874233","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
