Watch: Nick Chubb rushes for 52-yard gain to set up Cleveland Browns TD

Nick Chubb broke free for a 52-yard gain to set up the Cleveland Browns' third touchdown of the game against the Seattle Seahawks.

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns planned on running back Nick Chubb being an integral part of the offense, and through the first half against the Seattle Seahawks, he was exactly that, as he scored one touchdown and set up another.

On the Browns’ third touchdown drive of the game, quarterback Baker 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 from FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland.

On first-and-10 from the Seattle 31-yard line, Mayfield took the snap under center, utilized a play-action fake to freeze the defense, and after reading the progressions from left to right, found Seals-Jones well behind the coverage of a Seahawks defender.

After securing the catch at the Seattle nine-yard line, Seals-Jones hustled his way into the end zone for his second touchdown of the season.

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.
