Matt Forte scores two TDs, defense notches seven sacks in Jets’ victory over Bills

The Jets finally ended their three-game losing streak in a dominating 34-21 victory over the Bills at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night.

Finishing, establishing the running game and having a strong defensive effort were the major themes for the Jets going into their only prime-time contest of the season.

The Jets (4-5) had lost their previous three games, squandering 14-point leads to the Patriots and Dolphins, and failing to hold a seven-point halftime advantage against the Falcons last week.

Thursday’s task seemed daunting as the Bills had won four of their past five games. But the Jets had a season-high seven sacks, the most since they also had seven sacks on Sept.
