Jets run-game struggles reach new low in growing concern

LONDON — The Jets passing game will get most of the blame for Sunday’s 23-17 loss to the Vikings after three Aaron Rodgers interceptions, but the team’s lack of a running game continues to be worrisome. The Jets got nothing going on the ground … again.They had just 36 rushing yards on 14 carries.

The Jets believed they would have a strong rushing attack this season but it has yet to materialize. “The run game is clearly not good enough,” Jets coach Robert Saleh said.“You know, felt like coming out of training camp it was going to be a strength for us and it obviously hasn’t been that way.” The Jets moved away from the running game early Sunday.

I know whether we run the ball 10 times or 20 times, we also had a chance to win the game.” A week after failing to go to rookie Braelon Allen on the goal line, the Jets used Allen in a short-yardage situation in the second quarter but he came up short on third-and-3 and fourth-and-2 at the Vikings 26-yard line and the Jets came away with no points in a game they ended up losing by six points. Rodgers had an interesting comment after the game, suggesting the Jets need to pass early to set up the run rather than trying to establish the run to set up the pass. “I mean, we’ve got to figure out exactly what our best runs are based on the first five games now,” Rodgers said, “and you know, we�...
