Nick Chubb could definitely do some damage against the Kansas City Chiefs

The Cleveland Browns have a couple of incredibly dynamic running backs and one the Kansas City Chiefs will certainly need to account for is Nick Chubb. Chubb, who is heading into his fourth season with the Browns, could make things difficult for the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense.

Chubb has been with the Browns for a few seasons now and he’s been a key part of their turnaround. As he heads into his fourth season in Cleveland (and the NFL), Chubb has run the ball a total of 680 times for 3,557 yards and 28 touchdowns in the regular season.

He’s consistent, powerful, and explosive. And in addition to being a solid rushing threat, Chubb has also demonstrated that he’s a decent pass catcher. Chubb has 72 receptions for 577 yards and a couple touchdowns.

Chubb has been an incredible addition to this team and is one big reason as to why the Browns have found some success in recent seasons.

Luckily for Kansas City, the Chiefs know what kind of talent Chubb is. When the Chiefs played against the Cleveland Browns in the playoffs this past season, Kansas City was able to limit Chubb to 69 rushing yards on just 13 carries.

The Kansas City Chiefs will likely need to keep Chubb in check for them to be able to win this game, but hopefully they should be able to do just that this Sunday.
