Jets' Matt Forte: Thursday NFL games 'not very conducive to player safety'

FLORHAM PARK -- Jets running back Matt Forte isn't a big fan, to say the least, of Thursday night games.

Forte and the Jets this week face a short turnaround. They lost to the Falcons at home on Sunday, and will host the Bills on Thursday night.

Forte, 31, is in his 10th NFL season. He is used to playing in Thursday night games by now. But he doesn't have to like the concept, in terms of what it means for player safety -- something the NFL supposedly cares about.
