The Ivy League graduate began 2015 as a game-manager, but now means much more to the Jets’ offensive success.
The New York Jets began the season 4-1, and the naked eye would attribute the majority of their offensive success to running back Chris Ivory. In every game he played, the Jets won and relied heavily on the sixth-year back. He carried the ball 63 times for 314 yards, which comes close to five yards per touch. Though quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick by no means played poorly, he wasn’t expected to throw the ball to win games.
