Watch: Nick Chubb puts Cleveland Browns back in front of Seattle Seahawks with second TD run

Second-year running back Nick Chubb put the Cleveland Browns back in front of the Seattle Seahawks with a second touchdown run of the game.

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns turned over the ball on downs at the Seattle one-yard line, but after forcing a short punt from the Seahawks just three plays later, they found their way across the goal line for the go-ahead score.

On first-and-goal from the Seattle three-yard line, quarterback Baker Mayfield handed off to Nick Chubb and the second-year running back plowed through the line of scrimmage and extended the ball to break the plane of the end zone for the touchdown.

Then, Mayfield completed a two-point conversion pass to tight end Demetrius Harris that gave the Browns a 28-25 lead over the Seahawks with 9:02 to play in the fourth quarter at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland.

The Browns’ scoring drive lasted only two plays and covered 24 yards in less than one minute.

On the previous play, Chubb had a 21-yard run to set up the Browns’ fourth touchdown of the game.

The Browns planned on Chubb being an integral part of the offense, and through the first half against the Seahawks, he was exactly that, scoring one touchdown and set up another.

On the Browns’ third touchdown drive of the game, Mayfield and tight end Ricky Seals-Jones punctuated the possession with a 31-yard touchdown pass, it was Chubb who carried the mail early in the possession.

On second-and-one from the Cleveland 17-yard line, Mayfield handed the ball to Chubb, and after initially going behind left guard Joel Bitonio, he cut back right, powered through the first and second levels of defense and hustled his way to a 52-yard gain.

Mayfield engineered three straight scoring drives to start the game, and on the third, he found Seals-Jones open along the right sideline for a 31-yard touchdown, which gave the Browns a 20-6 lead over the Seahawks with 14:54 to play in the first half.

The Browns received the opening kickoff from the Seahawks, and they wasted no time or field position by building a three-play, 23-yard drive that Chubb capped off with a seven-yard touchdown run.

With Austin Seibert’s successful point-after attempt, the Browns held a 7-0 lead over the Seahawks with 13:01 to play in the first quarter.

Chubb took a handoff from quarterback Baker Mayfield and with wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. serving as a lead blocker, got to the outside and glided across the goal line for his team-leading fifth touchdown run of the season.
