JT got the 8-pointer on the board.
Colts' Jonathan Taylor scores 1st octopus of 2025 NFL season originally appeared on The Sporting News
Jonathan Taylor had himself a Sunday.
The Indianapolis Colts' running back absolutely dominated the Las Vegas Raiders.
And in the process, Taylor put up an NFL first for the 2025 season.
Taylor notched an octopus.
Yes, that's a real term.
It refers to a player scoring a touchdown and then scoring the ensuing 2-point conversion attempt, too.
That's what Taylor did on his third TD Sunday.
First, he ran it in. And then, he ran in the conversion try, too.
The Colts were going for 2 because kicker Spencer Shrader is hurt. They didn't have any other reason to go for it in a blowout, but without their normal kicking operation, it made sense.
Taylor's fantasy football managers certainly won't mind. That's two extra points.
It's also one more step toward a potential Offensive Player of the Year season for Taylor, who has been fantastic for a really good Colts team and doesn't show any signs of slowing down.
Add the octopus to his list of accomplishments so far this season.
