Let me ask you how many yards did the Jets rush for in the 45-3 arse whipping against the Pats? Don't know? 152 yards. Yes, 152 yards that turned into 3 total points. And wasn't like a freak 50 yard rush skewing the stats. The Jets averaged 4.9 YPC too.
Now that the Jets rushed all over a bad (at least for playoff standards) Colts' team, everyone is freaking out.
The last time the Pats and Jets met, Pats dared the Jets to run by playing most of the game in sub packages with five or more defensive backs on the field for most of game. Even with the success of the Jets running game because of it, the Jets could only score 3 points and the Pats were still able to put up 45 points on offense and win the time of possession battle (31:01 for the Pats vs. 28:59 for the Jets).
So the Jets had some great success running the ball the last time against the Pats and it didn't stop them from getting their worst defeat in their history. And now people are petrified about their running game?!?
