Jets one of only five to run more than pass

The NFL Network had an interesting stat during its "NFL GameDay Morning" show.As the league becomes more pass-dependent, only five teams had run the ball more often than they'd thrown it heading into Week 8.Four of them led their divisions, while the fifth has been surprisingly good.Kansas City Chiefs: 211 run plays,Portugal Euro 2012 shirts, 158 pass plays (57.2 percent rushes).Pittsburgh Steelers: 185 run plays, 147 pass plays (55.7 percent rushes).Tennessee Titans: 216 run plays, 188 pass plays (53.5 percent rushes).New York Jets: 193 run plays, 188 pass plays (50.7 percent rushes).Oakland Raiders: 236 run plays,Germany Euro Shirts, 233 pass plays (50.3 percent rushes)."There's an old-school philosophy in this league: 'Run the football and stop the run,'" NFL Network analyst Steve Mariucci said. "That may not be exciting with the passing game of Peyton Manning, but that old-school philosophy is winning and thriving and it will dominate today."
