Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt revive Browns' running back glory days of Kevin Mack, Earnest Byner

BEREA, Ohio -- Before the Cleveland Browns featured running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, they boasted Kevin Mack and Earnest Byner.

In 1985, a year after the Browns drafted them, Mack and Byner teamed up to become the third running back duo in NFL history to each rush for 1,000 yards.

Thirty-five years later, Chubb and Hunt are knocking on the door of the same achievement. With two games remaining, Chubb has 931 rushing yards, putting him 69 yards away. Hunt has work to do, with 793 yards, but he too is well within striking distance.
