3 Cleveland Browns that balled out on offense during Monday Night Football victory

Offensive standout No. 1: Nick Chubb

Not only is Nick Chubb No. 1 on this list, but the running back is also No. 1 in the hearts of Browns’ fans worldwide. Oh yeah, he is also No. 1 in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and a ton of other advanced metrics that all point to what we already know…Nick Chubb is the best running back in all of football.

It must be tremendously frustrating for defenses to face Chubb. Defenses can bottle him up for a drive or two, but in the end, water always finds its level. On Monday Night, Chubb did what Chubb does. He takes a defense’s soul.

In the first quarter, the Bengals’ defense held Chubb to seven yards on three carries. Then in the second quarter, Chubb carried the ball eight times gaining 35 yards, including a wildcat touchdown and a two-point conversion.

In the second half, the Browns leaned heavily on Chubb, as they should have. He tallied 14 totes for 65 yards and a touchdown over the final two-quarters of the contest. Statistically, it wasn’t Chubb’s best game of the season, but it was how he demoralized the Bengals’ defense over the course of the game that sticks out. Running by defenders, through defenders, and even leaping over defenders, Chubb again proved he is the best ball carrier in the NFL.

The defense knows that Chubb is getting the ball, the announcers know that Chubb is getting the ball, and everyone watching the game knows that Chubb is getting the ball. But that does not stop the inevitability that is Nick Chubb. 23 carries for 101 yards and two touchdowns. You know…the usual.
