WATCH: Former Alabama RB T.J. Yeldon puts punctuation on career-best TD run

The Jacksonville Jaguars ran roughshod over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday to build a 27-0 lead.
One beneficiary of that start was former Alabama running back T.J. Yeldon, who scampered free in the Colts’ secondary en route to a career-high 58-yard touchdown run where he beat the Colts’ defensive backs to the pylon.
By early in the fourth quarter, Yeldon had seven carries for 89 yards.
Interesting enough, Yeldon was a healthy inactive the last five games.
But an ankle injury to Leonard Fournette opened up playing time for Yeldon, who led the Jaguars in rushing for two straight seasons after they drafted him out of Alabama in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
