Matt Forte spoke barely above a whisper in a corner of the Jets’ locker room, but he might as well have been using a megaphone after delivering a massive second-guess after Sunday’s 25-20 loss to the reigning NFC champion Falcons at MetLife Stadium.
It was the third straight game in which the Jets failed to hold a fourth-quarter lead against a quality opponent, but unlike previous losses to the defending Super Bowl champion Patriots and Dolphins, Forte delivered an unmistakable message that offensive coordinator John Morton’s play calls were central to the Jets’ inability to close out the game.
