Jets Establish Ground Game in Week 2 Loss
Led by veteran running back Matt Forté, the Jets found success on the ground through a committee approach despite falling to the Raiders.
“It’s something different,” Forté said. “Usually you go a couple of series, but this game was more of whenever your number is called, get in there. When you get in there, you still have to execute that play that’s called, so there’s not much difference.”
As a team, the Jets rushed for 126 total yards with an average of 5.0 yards per rush. Forté led the visitors with 53 yards on nine carries for an average of 5.9 yards.
