Carter came into the game getting minimal attempts in the rushing attack. He had three carries for 14 yards. He had seven touchdowns and more than 1,000 rushing yards in his first two seasons with the Jets. But the signing of Cook and the return of Hall from injury pushed Carter to the third string.
