Jets’ Forte, Offensive Coordinator Morton Clear The Air
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Matt Forte won’t be grounded after saying the New York Jets should have used the ground game more.
The veteran running back said he spoke Monday to offensive coordinator John Morton and coach Todd Bowles about his critical comments Sunday. Forte added that Morton was “very open-minded” during their brief discussion.
After New York’s 25-20 loss to Atlanta, Forte said the Jets “strayed” from the game plan — which was to run the ball in the rainy conditions at MetLife Stadium.
