It took a while for Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski to get the offense going, but he stayed true to what the Browns do best, and rushing the ball paid off.

Chubb had 108 yards on 19 carries. Teammate Kareem Hunt added 46 yards on 16 carries, diving the duo a total of 158 yards on 37 carries. Much was made of Washington being littered with first-round picks up front, so to get this total is probably more impressive than the 205 total yards Chubb and Hunt hung up on Cincinnati.

Chubb’s two scoring runs came on carries of 16 and 20 yards, respectively. He’s making scoring easier for the offense, and that takes the burden off Baker Mayfield.

Mayfield was a nice-and-neat 16-of-23 for 156 yards and two scores. He avoided throwing an interception in the first half thanks to some great defense from Odell Beckham.
