Chubb does well despite Browns’ loss to Seattle

- By Logan Maddox logansethm­addox@icloud.com

Nick Chubb shined in another Browns loss.

Cleveland had every chance to win late but faltered in their 32-28 home defeat against Seattle in recent weeks. Although the Seahawks got the win, their defense was no match for Cedartown native Nick Chubb.

The second-year running back recorded 122 yards on 20 carries. In addition to his 6.1 yards per carry, Chubb punched in two touchdowns. He also caught 5 passes for 17 yards against Seattle.

Chubb was, once again, a rare bright spot on offense for the Browns. The rest of the offense faced major woes on Sunday. Quarterbac­k Baker Mayfield completed 22 of his 37 pass attempts on the day, throwing for 249 yards and a touchdown.

Unfortunat­ely, as has been his problem this year, the Oklahoma product threw three intercepti­ons as well.

As the weeks go on, more and more articles are being posted by respective sports news sites stating the same thing: Chubb needs to be the focal point of Cleveland’s offense. To this point, the coaching staff has yet to make a change.

The 2-4 Browns, who sit two games behind the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North, got a well-needed week off. This gives players extra time to nurse some healing injuries and prepare for next week’s matchup with the no. 1 team in the league: the New England Patriots.

Next Sunday’s game in Foxborough, Mass., will begin at 4:25 p.m. The reuniting of Chubb and Patriots players David Andrews and Sony Michelform­er teammates of his at the University of Georgia- will be overshadow­ed by Cleveland’s urgency to get back in the win column. The clash at Gillette Stadium is scheduled to be broadcast on CBS.
