New York Jets defensive back Calvin Pryor has admitted that his side have a battle on their hands against Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall.

Marshall played through an injury in Chicago's win over the San Francisco 49ers, and was instrumental in their victory as he caught three touchdown passes, including two in the fourth quarter.

"My hat's off to him," Pryor told reporters. "I personally think he's one of the best receivers we have in the NFL, and there's a bunch of great receivers out there. I definitely put him at the top.

"When you're a superstar and you have passion for the game like that, you're gonna come out there and do what's best for your team so you can get the win. Injured or not, he definitely had a tremendous game. We're gonna prepare like he's not injured."

The Jets face the Bears in their week-three clash on Monday.
