All it took for the Jets to establish their running game was for Matt Forte to say something.
The 10-year running back hadn’t started the previous three games but there he was on Thursday night against the Bills, starting and helping his team get the run game established.
In the previous three games, Forte came off the bench as Bilal Powell and Elijah McGuire started.
It was an interesting decision to start Forte, given his comments of last week, in which he said the Jets should be running more often.
They did Thursday night and it was working exceptionally well.
