The pain that was felt throughout Northeast Ohio when Cleveland Browns star RB Nick Chubb was taken out in Week 2 of the NFL season was palpable. What many fans deemed was a dirty hit by Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick took away the heart of the Browns offense.
Even in a passing league, Chubb was that important to the team.
Chubb has been so explosive that he still leads the NFL over the last three years in big runs (20+ yards) despite missing all but one game of the 2023 season.
