Rush for more than 100 yards

Despite adding Le’Veon Bell this offseason, the Jets rushing attack has been abysmal all season. The Jets rank 31st in rushing yards and are the only team in the NFL not to rush for more than 100 yards in a game all season. That needs to change against the Redskins, who allow 136 rushing yards per game – fifth-most in the league.

A lot of the Jets’ struggles stem from their porous offensive line, which will now take on one of the weakest defensive lines in the league. Washington ranks 26th in Football Outsiders’ adjusted line yards with 4.66 and only stuffs runners on 16 percent of rushing attempts. Bell should be able to run a lot better against the Redskins if the offensive line can finally open lanes for him.
