— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) November 22, 2024On Thursday night, in his first game against the AFC North rival since the injury, Chubb reached the end zone.
Chubb powered past the goal line for a 2-yard touchdown run, giving the Browns a 7-3 lead with 4 minutes remaining in the first half. Earlier in the drive, Chubb extended the possession with a 5-yard run to the Steelers' 11 on fourth-and-1.
The score also marked Chubb's 50th career rushing touchdown. He becomes the third player in Browns history to run for at least 50 touchdowns, joining Jim Brown (106) and Leroy Kelly (74).
