Forte totaled 100 yards and three touchdowns on 30 carries and secured two of three targets for nine yards in Thursday's 37-31 victory over the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran has now tallied 56 carries over his first two games in a Jets uniform, starring in the power running attack that offensive coordinator Chan Gailey has often made a key component of his offense in past seasons and previous stops. The 30 carries were actually a career high for Forte, while the three rushing touchdowns equaled a high-water mark as well. The nine-year veteran dominated backfield touches in even more thorough fashion than in Week 1, as Bilal Powell was the only other back to receive a carry, a just a single one at that. While he may not be able to sustain such a workload over the course of a full season, Gailey's playbook typically features a unique combination of a robust ground game with an aggressive air attack, meaning that Forte should still see plenty of work given his diversified skill set.

Truth! I made a trade for him right before he started blowing up about 6 years ago. Maybe even longer. Never let him go!
