Ashton Dulin - Makes impact on ground Dulin carried the ball twice for 39 yards in Saturday's 27-17 win over the Patriots.
Impact While he wasn't involved as a pass catcher, no Colt did much through the air on a night in which Carson Wentz managed only 57 passing yards. Instead, Dulin helped set up the team's first TD with a 37-yard gain on a jet sweep to begin Indy's second possession. The third-year speedster still hasn't seen more than two touches in a game this season, but he's finding a way to make an impact after catching TD passes in the team's previous two games.

Michael Pittman Jr. - Only one catch before ejection Pittman caught one of five targets for seven yards before being ejected in the third quarter of Saturday's 27-17 win over the Patriots.
Impact It was already a rough night for Pittman and the Colts' passing game as a whole before the wideout got into an altercation with Pats safety Kyle Dugger, which resulted in both players getting tossed. The abbreviated outing wound up being Pittman's least productive game of the season, but it's unlikely he'll face further discipline from the league for his part in the incident, so he should be able to bounce back in Week 16 against the Cardinals.

Nyheim Hines - Sneaks into end zone Saturday Hines caught one of two targets for a six-yard touchdown in Saturday's 27-17 win over the Patriots.
Impact He opened the scoring late in the first quarter on a trick play by the Colts, as Jonathan Taylor took a direct snap and handed it to Carson Wentz, who then shoveled it to Hines to take into the end zone behind a convoy of blockers that included Taylor. Unfortunately for Hines, it was his only touch of the night as Indy built a 17-0 lead by halftime and then leaned on Taylor to kill the clock. The TD was Hines' third of the season but his first receiving score. Given his diminished role in the offense, he'll remain a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in Week 16 against the Cardinals.

Jonathan Taylor - Extends TD streak to 11 games Taylor carried the ball 29 times for 170 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-17 win over the Patriots.
Impact The Colts held a 17-0 lead at halftime thanks to a special-teams TD and a bit of trickery to Nyheim Hines, but Taylor was still able to grind his way to another 100-yard performance while the team killed the clock in the second half -- until he erupted for a 67-yard touchdown run with two minutes left in the game, squashing any hope New England might have had of a comeback. Taylor has 19 TDs on the season, leaving him one short of the Colts' franchise record of 20 set by Lenny Moore in 1964, and his 11 consecutive games with a rushing TD ties the single-season NFL record held by LaDainian Tomlinson and John Riggins, although Tomlinson's overall record of 14 straight games across two seasons remains a little further down the road. Taylor will look to keep tracking down history in Week 16 against the Cardinals.

Carson Wentz - Poor performance in win Wentz completed five of 12 passes for 57 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Saturday's 27-17 win over the Patriots. He also gained 17 yards on eight carries.
Impact The evening could have been even worse for Wentz, as a couple of his incompletions could easily have become INTs, but the Colts were able to survive his shaky effort thanks to Jonathan Taylor and a special-teams score. It was by far the least productive full game of Wentz's career, and he'll likely need to do a lot more if the Colts are going to come up with a road win in Week 16 against the Cardinals.
