Raiders’ defense stuffs Ivory, Jets
Chris Ivory runs very hard. The Raiders’ run defense hit back harder Sunday.
Ivory’s first carry of the game went for a 3-yard loss, thanks to defensive end Khalil Mack. The Jets’ running back got the legs pumping again two plays later, only to be met by linebacker Malcolm Smith and the rest of the defense 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
And Ivory was on his way to a painful day, gaining 17 yards on 15 carries in the Jets’ 34-20 loss to the Raiders. The 1.13 average is a career low in a game in which he has had at least 10 carries.
