Colts running back Donald Brown finally did what he has been threatening to do for much of the season Thursday; he emerged as the team's featured back. With Trent Richardson still scuffling, Brown led the team to a second-half comeback in Week 11, in a 30-27 win over the Titans.
Brown had just four carries before halftime, though he was already receiving a larger share of the workload than Richardson. He really got going after the half, however, and finished with 80 yards on just 14 carries, along with two touchdowns. He scored from 6 and 11 yards out in the game, the first time in his career he has scored twice in a game.
Brown finished with nearly twice as many carries as Richardson, a trend that bears watching moving forward. The Colts face the Cardinals in Week 12.
