CLEVELAND – Nick Chubb wasted no time and gave the Cleveland Browns an early lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
He made his way through the Pittsburgh defense – then ran through Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick – to put Cleveland 7-0 with a 47-yard touchdown dash.
Chubb had 61 yards on the opening run, putting him over 1,000 yards on the season.
Chubb is the first Browns player to rush for a touchdown of more than 40 yards against the Steelers since Jim Brown scored from 48 yards on October 19, 1958, according to Elias.
The touchdown earned him 12 hasty scores for the year – the most of a Browns player since Leroy Kelly had 16 in 1968.
