Nick Chubb powers the Cleveland Browns to a season-saving over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in this weeks 3 Good and 3 Bad

Three Good
Focusing on Nick Chubb early
The Cleveland Browns focusing on Nick Chubb and getting him going would seem like a normal, everyday thing to do, yet it’s not, for whatever reason. That said, Kevin Stefanski did in fact do just that on Sunday against the Buccaneers. They schemed a lot of handoffs for him and even brought in Chris Hubbard for a spell to help facilitate that. Chubb had 100+ yards and hit 1,000 yards for the season, so clearly it paid off. Chubb would later go on to score the game-winning touchdown in overtime.
The run blocking
Proving once again that the offensive scheme makes players and not the other way around, the Browns running game took it to a stout Buccaneers defense and didn’t miss a single step in the process. Though, it’s becoming more and more obvious by the day that Kareem Hunt is washed.
The defense
Joe Woods held a potent passing attack of the Buccaneers to just past 200 yards through regulation. Considering the Bucs’ passing attack is all they really have to score points, that’s impressive. Special shoutout to Martin Emerson, who had been a standout all game long, usually covering Bucs star wideout Mike Evans.
