LONDON (AP) — Jonathan Taylor rushed for two touchdowns and Colts quarterback Daniel Jones ran one in and Indianapolis beat Washington 30-13 after the Commanders lost yet another quarterback to injury on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Marcus Mariota, who was starting in place of the injured Jayden Daniels, left the game after Washington’s second drive because of a knee injury. The veteran quarterback was sacked and didn’t return for the Commanders (1-3).

Third-string rookie quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis threw his first NFL touchdown pass to cut Indy's lead to 17-13 in the third quarter, but the Colts (2-2) answered with Spencer Shrader's 52-yard field goal and Jones' 4-yard run early in the fourth quarter.
