Jets running backs Chris Ivory and Chris Johnson did not reach the end zone during the Jets’ 30-24 loss to the Vikings Sunday.

Ivory had a more productive day, producing 73 rushing yards on 16 attempts including catching one pass on two targets for 4 yards. Johnson also had 16 carries, but produced just 53 rushing yards. He also added two catches on two targets for 13 yards.

The Jets will play at Tennessee Week 15.

Broncos running back C.J. Anderson returned to the game against Buffalo in the fourth quarter after leaving in the third quarter with an ankle injury. Anderson had a rushing touchdown in each of the first three quarters.

The backfield pair of Trent Richardson and Dan Herron contributed little on the ground for the Colts on Sunday in Cleveland, though the latter did catch four passes for 45 yards.

Richardson returned to the field in which he played his home games as a rookie and managed 30 yards on seven carries. Herron added 26 yards on eight attempts.

Despite receiving the majority of the rushing carries, Vikings running back Matt Asiata failed to produce a big day during the Vikings’ 30-24 win over the Jets Sunday.

Asiata was held to 54 rushing yards on 19 attempts. Asiata caught three receptions for 10 yards on four targets, but was held scoreless. The 19 rushing attempts were the most Asiata received since Week 4. Asiata has yet to rush for more than 100 yards in any game this season.

The Vikings travel to Detroit Week 15.

Broncos running back C.J. Anderson left the game against the Bills in the third quarter with an ankle injury after rushing for three touchdowns. Anderson scored in each of the first three quarters, finding the end zone from 6, 1, and 3 yards out.

Juwan Thompson replaced Anderson and had a 47-yard run of his own.

The rookie backfield duo of Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West held their own in a heartbreaking loss for the Browns on Sunday against Indianapolis.

Crowell finished with 54 yards on 14 carries and provided the lone offensive touchdown with a 9-yard run late in the second quarter. West, who started the game, added 54 yards on 14 attempts. They combined for just 16 yards on eight carries in the second half, however.

The two hope their efforts can result in a victory next Sunday against visiting Cincinnati.

The Rams got several offensive contributions in their 24-0 shutout of the Redskins. Wideout Tavon Austin ran five times for 46 yards and caught two passes for 14 yards. Running back Benny Cunningham rushed three times for 20 yards and caught all five of his targets for 28 yards.

Tight end Lance Kendricks added an 11-yard grab. They'll all play the Cardinals on Thursday night.

Washington's backup running backs did little Week 14 against the Rams.

Silas Redd received one carry, gaining 8 yards. He finished second on the team in rushing. Redd did manage to make an impact in the passing game, though. He caught three passes for 36 yards. Redd was targeted four times. Punter Tress Way also got a carry, gaining 2 yards.

They'll look for more Week 15 against the Giants. 

Raiders running back Latavius Murray is active Week 14 against the 49ers.

The team will also have Sio Moore and Tarell Brown for the contest. Both players came into the contest listed as questionable. Moore has a hip injury. Brown is dealing with a foot issue. 

Redskins running back Roy Helu left Sunday's game against the Rams in second half with a toe injury. He had no stats before leaving the game.
