Cleveland Browns: Studs and duds from Week 3 win vs. Washington
By Cory Kinnan
Stud: RB Nick Chubb
It is almost not fair to put running back Nick Chubb on this list as he has been a staple for the Browns over the past three seasons. However, yet again, Chubb stepped up big as he once again eclipsed the 100-yard mark on the ground and finding the end zone twice for the Browns. He and Kareem Hunt have established themselves as the best running back duo in the league, racking up a combined 172 total yards and three touchdowns on the day.
After coming off a season where he finished second in the race for the rushing title, Chubb looks poised to take home the crown in 2020, even with splitting reps with Hunt. He ran hard, breaking tackles, and put the offense on his back today, even breaking a game-high long run of 25 yards.
It seems like the anxiety of losing winnable games is starting to fade away under this new regime under head coach Kevin Stefanski, and a part of that can be attributed to the steady performances week in and week out of Chubb.
As the Cowboys come to town with a banged up front seven, look for the Browns to once again get the ball in the hands of their workhorse in Chubb.
