Browns RB Nick Chubb Breaks Trent Richardson’s Team Rookie Rushing Record

CLEVELAND – The Browns had everything go their way on Sunday in their home finale against the Cincinnati Bengals, and rookie running back Nick Chubb reached history in the process.

Chubb, by reaching 91 yards, broke the Browns rookie rushing record set back in 2012 by Trent Richardson, who ran that season for 950 yards.

The Georgia rookie has rushed for eight touchdowns this year. He really didn’t come on until the team dealt starting running back Carlos Hyde to the Jacksonville Jaguars in October.

Before the deal for Hyde, Chubb had run for just 173 yards in his first six games, with a 105-yard effort in a loss at Oakland on September 30th.
