The 'Multiple 3-rushing-TD games in a season' quiz

At one point this season, the Indianapolis Colts were going to run away with the AFC South. But now, with Philip Rivers brought out of retirement to play quarterback and both the Jaguars and Texans on extended winning-streaks, the Colts are fighting to save their season. After losing their fourth game in a row against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15, the Colts will lean on Jonathan Taylor to end their spiral against San Francisco on "Monday Night Football."

Taylor has been amazing for Indianapolis once again this season, eclipsing 100 rushing yards five times and racking up 18 total touchdowns so far. Taylor has shown his ability to completely take over a game on numerous occasions, rushing for three touchdowns on four occasions and eclipsing 150 rushing yards three times. 

But In Rivers’ first start against Seattle, Taylor was kept out of the end zone despite getting 24 carries and the Colts fell 18-16 to six field goals from Jason Myers. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Taylor is one of 55 running backs in NFL history to score three rushing touchdowns multiple times in the same season. How many of those running backs can you name in eight minutes?

Good luck!
