Bowles: Jets Have to Get Off to a Quicker Start

Dual Threat
RBs Matt Forté (82 yards) and Bilal Powel (76 yards) had their most productive outing on the ground this season in the Jets’ 31-28 win over the Browns, combining for 158 yards on 31 carries. It marked the first time two Jets running backs had gained at least 75 yards rushing since 2012 (Shonn Greene & Powell).

Forté, who passed Marshawn Lynch for 35th all-time on the NFL’s all-time rushing list, also recorded his 50th and 51st rushing touchdowns. In doing so, Forté became the sixth player in NFL history to amass 9,000 rushing yards, 50 rushing touchdowns and 500 receptions.
