The Indianapolis Colts dominated the Oakland Raiders in a 40-6 performance, and a big factor behind the success was the running ability of former Badger Jonathan Taylor. He is absolutely taking over the NFL from the running back position. He went into the game leading the league in rushing, and while his yards in this game aren't as impressive as previous weeks, he scored three rushing touchdowns.

And then in the post-game when the lights and cameras were all on him, he turned to one and flashed the "W" for Wisconsin. Even after a career day for the Colts, he has the Badgers on his mind. He's a constant reminder that Wisconsin is RBU.

Taylor's final stat line was 17 carries for 66 yards and three touchdowns. He also hauled in three receptions for 20 yards. It was a fantasy football performance that gave players an easy win, but more importantly, he propelled his team to a big win.

Going into the game, he was the NFL's leading rusher at 414 yards. He was able to push that total all the way up to 480 yards on the season. The games haven't all finished for the week, but it does look like he will carry that title over for at least another week.

And with his three-touchdown day, he also took the lead in rushing touchdowns at six. He's the best NFL running back without a doubt through five games on the season, and he's helped his team get to a 4-1 record.

But honestly, as a Wisconsin fan, the best part is that he continues to represent the University of Wisconsin. Flashing the W and holding it down for RBU. It may be the best thing going for Wisconsin football right now.
