What Play Did OC Morton Tell Players to Watch?

In his weekly press conference, Jets offensive coordinator John Morton praised running back Matt Forté as he led the team in Week 7 with five receptions and 41 yards in addition to his 41 yards on the ground.

However, his most impressive play contained flashes of vintage Forté. Facing a third-and-19 late in the first quarter, Morton dialed up a screen to the 31-year-old, who patiently waited for his blockers and deftly weaved his way through the Dolphins defense for a 21-yard gain to keep the chains moving.

“That was an unbelievable play,” Morton said.
