Jets running back Matt Forte was highly critical of offensive coordinator John Morton’s play-calling after Sunday’s 25-20 loss to the Falcons, but Forte offered high praise for his coach in the wake of Thursday night’s convincing 34-21 win over the Bills at MetLife Stadium.
With Morton following through on his promise to call more running plays, Forte led a resurgent rushing attack that produced 194 yards and three touchdowns as the Jets snapped a three-game losing streak and improved to 4-5.
“We had some difficulties and frustrations on a short week and addressed them on Monday and came out on a Thursday game and ran the ball like we did and threw the ball like we did, we did a great job of that,” Forte said.
