The 'Three-rushing-touchdown NFL games' quiz

The Indianapolis Colts have been one of the most surprising teams of the 2025 NFL season, but there is one very predictable reason for that: Jonathan Taylor. 

Quarterback Daniel Jones is experiencing a career renaissance after being cast off from the New York Giants last season, but Taylor is running like the best back in football. Through seven games, the 26 year old veteran is leading the NFL in both rushing yards (697) and touchdowns (10), while his 5.3 yards-per-carry are tied for third amongst players with at least 80 carries this season. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. In the Colts Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers to move to 6-1, Taylor rushed for three touchdowns for the fifth time in his six-year career. With that being said, can you name the players in NFL history to rush for at least three touchdowns in an NFL game at least three times?

Good luck!
