2. Nick Chubb

What’s left to say about Nick Chubb that hasn’t already been said? When he’s in the lineup, the Browns are a different team.

Chubb missed three games due to injury earlier this season, which makes what he’s doing even more remarkable. He’s still atop the leaderboard in runs that have gone over 20 yards. Plus, he entered the game ranked 13th in rushing, which is crazy, considering the four games he missed. He added to his total in Week 12, ripping off runs of 29 and 27 yards.

With Jacksonville boasting Myles Jack, PFF’s second-highest graded linebacker against the run, Chubb upped his game, rushing for 144 yards on 19 carries and a touchdown.

Kareem Hunt added 62 yards on the ground and continues to be invaluable in spelling Chubb–something Kevin Stefanski has done a masterful job of handling.

Chubb’s legs always seem to be fresh in the fourth quarter, and his running over and through opposing defense has been what’s carried Cleveland to victory.
