Browns finally ride Nick Chubb to victory over Bengals

CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Browns seemed to have forgotten that they boasted the NFL's leading rusher. And on top of it, that they were facing the NFL's worst run defense.

Thank goodness for their slim playoff hopes, they remembered in time for the second half.

After inexplicably giving Nick Chubb only three carries over the first two quarters, Cleveland rode its star running back the rest of the way to a 27-19 victory Sunday over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Together, Chubb and backfield wingman Kareem Hunt combined for the 114 yards on 16 carries in the second half.
