INDIANAPOLIS — For the third time this season, Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has been awarded the FedEx Ground Player of the week.

Taylor rushed for 143 yards on 32 carries and scored two touchdowns in the Colts' shutout win against the Houston Texans.

It's the third time Taylor has won the award this season. That ties him with Derrick Henry of the Tennessee Titans and Joe Mixon of the Cincinnati Bengals for league leaders.

This week's win means yet another $2,000 donation to a Historically Black College or University in Taylor's name. That donation goes toward needs-based scholarships for HBCU students.
