Matt Forte says Jets must reach this standard in running game

FLORHAM PARK -- In two games since they torched the Jaguars on the ground, the Jets have struggled to build on that successful rushing output.

The Jets ran for 256 yards against Jacksonville -- and 8 yards per carry. Then they ran for 34 (1.9 per carry) against the Browns and 74 (3.1) against the Patriots.

But offensive coordinator John Morton isn't sweating it.

"I'm not concerned at all," he said about his running game. "We made a big emphasis this week, as far as the run game and everything."

Veteran running back Matt Forte, meanwhile, thinks the Jets (3-3) have run the ball well in just two of six games so far, as they prepare for Sunday's trip to Miami.
