Nick Chubb bounced back from injury in a big way on Sunday with a touchdown in the Browns’ Sunday afternoon contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. It’s his first trip to the end zone in 398 days after he suffered the season-ending ailment.
The former Georgia running back took it in for the 1-yard scoring run with under a minute left in the second quarter. Unfortunately for Cleveland, the team was not able to tie that game at 7-7 due to the missed extra point by place-kicker Dustin Hopkins.
Because of that, the Browns trailed the Bengals, 7-6 when both teams walked into the locker room at halftime.
Here’s a look at the play:

Chubb hasn’t been incredibly productive as he continues to knock the rust off, but he has clearly made an impact on a game that would not be this close if it were not for some of Cleveland’s self-inflicted mistakes. He currently totals 10 carries for 20 yards with the 1 touchdown. He and the offense will be forced to play the rest of the game with Dorian Thompson-Robinson at quarterback after starting QB Deshaun Watson went down with an apparent Achilles injury.
The Browns trail the Bengals 14-6 in the 3rd quarter. The game is airing on CBS.
