Jonathan Taylor runs into the end zone for the Indianapolis Colts’ first touchdown in their NFL clash with the Washington Commanders in London

Jonathan Taylor scored twice as Indianapolis Colts overcame Washington Commanders 30-13 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to open this year’s triple-header of NFL International Series games in London.

The Commanders initially had the better of things, limiting the Colts offense to 20 total yards in the first quarter as they claimed a 6-0 lead.

But an injury to QB Marcus Mariota when sacked on the play prior to Washington’s second field goal proved a turning point, with third-stringer Athan Kaliakmanis – a seventh-round draft pick – unable to lead the Commanders to victory, despite a couple of eye-catching plays, including a 47-yard deep-ball TD for his first in the NFL.

Colts quarterback Daniel Jones, who had two turnovers in the first half, ran in Indianapolis’ third touchdown of the game early in the fourth quarter to stretch their lead to two scores – and there was to be no way back for Washington.

The NFL returns to Tottenham next Sunday for a clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars, who are back in action facing the Houston Texans at Wembley a week later, on Sunday October 18.
