Cincinnati eyes Jonathan Taylor as Colts continue to struggle
Summary

As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the Indianapolis Colts sit at 2-5 after a loss to the Minnesota Vikings. With their playoff hopes dwindling, they are seen as potential sellers, particularly regarding All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor. The Cincinnati Bengals, currently 4-2, may target Taylor to bolster their struggling rushing attack, which ranks in the bottom third of the league. With two upcoming games before the deadline, including facing the Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys, the Colts are poised for a rebuild. Cincinnati aims to capitalize on the situation to enhance their Super Bowl chances.
