He&#8217;s ready for the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve already kind of done it before,&#8221; Moss said on Wednesday, via the team&#8217;s official site. &#8220;Now&#8217;s the time to do it again. That&#8217;s why you prepare every day &#8212; you never know what&#8217;s going to happen in this league.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moss handled the job quite well when last called upon, breaking 100 rushing yards in two games (Week 3 at Baltimore and Week 5 vs. Tennessee). In both contests, Moss saw 23 or more carries, and scored a combined two rushing touchdowns. He led the NFL in rushing with 466 yards during this span, which stretched from Weeks 2 through 6, and led all running backs in scrimmage yards (576), proving the Colts had more than just Taylor as quality options available in their backfield.<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Colts RB Jonathan Taylor to undergo thumb surgery, miss multiple weeks            <\/li>\n<li>              NFL RB Index, Week 13: Three running backs who can save their teams&#x27; seasons            <\/li>\n<li>              NFL Power Rankings, Week 13: Steelers crack top 10, while Lions tumble out of top five            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since Taylor returned and began his steady ascension (reaching a new peak for 2023 with two rushing touchdowns on Sunday), Moss has shifted toward a complementary role. Now that Taylor is out following thumb surgery, Moss&#8217; teammates have reason to feel confident they&#8217;ll be just fine in the rushing department.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obviously losing JT hurts,&#8221; linebacker Zaire Franklin said this week, &#8220;but man, having Zack don&#8217;t hurt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When he&#8217;s, like, really playing, he&#8217;s leading the league,&#8221; quarterback Gardner Minshew\u00a0said. &#8220;One of the best in the league, can make guys miss, getting some really hard yards you wouldn&#8217;t expect. Excited to get him rolling again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moss will get the call this Sunday against division-rival Tennessee, which is tied for 21st against the run. He&#8217;ll hope to pick up where he left off back in Week 6 for a Colts team that refuses to drift out of the playoff race as we near December.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/zack-moss-ready-to-be-colts-lead-back-again-i-ve-already-kind-of-done-it-before\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Colts are once again in a familiar position entering Week 13, one lacking Jonathan Taylor.
