Trade Rumors Surround Indianapolis Running Back Jonathan Taylor
Mike mentioned trade buzz on a recent broadcast regarding Indianapolis standout running back Jonathan Taylor as the trade deadline approaches, according to sports.yahoo.com. Indianapolis owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon stated that the team does not want to trade Taylor because he remains an integral part of their future. While Indianapolis completed two major trades on a Monday, Taylor appears off the table in ongoing trade discussions, though the report noted that everyone has a price.
Eric and Randy debated whether the Broncos should attempt to make the trade, questioning if Denver requires a star running back and whether the associated price tag would be worth the investment.
Bo Nix Recovers from Scrutiny with Touchdown Run

Nix rushed for a 62-yard touchdown in the second quarter against Arizona, finished 15-29 passing for 222 yards, and threw a touchdown pass to running back RJ Harvey. This performance followed backlash from Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks, where Nix threw for 107 yards.
