Brandon Marshall was mocked this week when he called Chris Ivory the best running back in the NFL.
So Ivory stood up for his teammate the only way he knows — by running through, past and around the Redskins, and leading the Jets to their fourth win in five games, 34-20, at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
“I feel like that’s a great compliment from him, being the type of player he is,” Ivory said after he ran for more than 100 yards for the second straight game — the first time he has done so in his six-year career — piling up 146 yards on 20 carries and a touchdown.
