Forte scores two TDs in Jets’ victory
Matt Forte ran for two touchdowns four days after complaining the Jets didn’t run the ball enough, and an overwhelming defense sacked Tyrod Taylor seven times in New York’s 34- 21 demolition of the visiting Bills.
Buffalo ( 5- 3) came in having scored 64 points in its last two wins, but selfdestructed with turnovers and miscues. New York ( 4- 5), which snapped a three- game slide in which it held leads in each defeat, looked more like the challenger to New England in the AFC East.
Forte scored on runs of 10 and five yards and had 14 carries for 77 yards. Augmenting that was Bilal Powell with a 51- yard burst and 74 yards on nine carries. Quarterback Josh McCown got in on the fun with a 10- yard scramble to open the scoring and New York rushed for 194 yards overall.
Jordan Jenkins had two of the Jets’ seven sacks as they never allowed Buffalo’s offense to get on track.
Colts shut down Luck
Andrew Luck will spend a second offseason recovering from shoulder surgery.
The Colts put Luck on injured reserve, marking the end of his season and the beginning of a different rehab program that team officials believe will get their star quarterback on the field next fall.
“I’ve heard all sorts of rumors about career- ending,” general manager Chris Ballard. “That’s not the case here. I’ve not got that from one doctor. Career- ending is putting him out on the field before he’s ready to play. That’s where you should be concerned.”
Luck, who had surgery in January for a partially torn labrum in his throwing shoulder, hasn’t played this season.
