Joe Douglas revived the NY Jets’ run game with this one shrewd move

As we sit here on January 5 with one game to go in the NFL’s 2021 regular season, the New York Jets boast one of the league’s better rushing attacks.

While the Jets rank 24th in total rushing yards (101.2 per game), that’s only because they rank 31st in attempts (22.7 per game). Their run game is excellent from an efficiency standpoint. The Jets are ninth in yards per rush attempt (4.5). Advanced metrics are also fond of New York’s run game, as the Jets are 10th in total EPA (estimated points added) via rushing attempts with a mark of +19.
