Marshall thinks refs give Revis special treatment

BY NICK ST. DENIS

Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall acknowledges that Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis is good, but Marshall also thinks Revis gets a little help from the refs.

The last time the Jets and Dolphins met, Marshall stumbled into Revis on a red zone pass attempt by quarterback Matt Moore, and after putting his hands on Marshall, Revis intercepted the ball and ran it back 100 yards for a touchdown.

“My technique could have been better, but at the same time, I think they gave him the Jordan Rule,” Marshall told reporters Wednesday, according to the New York Daily News. “You get a little close to Michael Jordan, they’re going to call a foul. It works that way in football. Some guys, they’re scared to throw the flag… he may be getting that rule.”

Marshall said he considers himself "one of the faces of football," but since he's not as popular as Revis, "When they have to pick, they pick Darrelle."
