UGA great Nick Chubb helps Cleveland Browns to first playoff win since 1995

The Cleveland Browns secured their first playoff win since 1995 in a 48-37 win versus the Steelers in Pittsburg in a wild-card matchup on Sunday night.

One reason for the Browns historical performance was a big night from former Georgia running back Nick Chubb.

Georgia football’s all-time second leading rusher carried the ball 18 times for 76 yards and caught 4 passes for 69 yards and this game-sealing touchdown.

A historical week for the Browns who, after making the Playoffs for the first time in 20 years just a week ago, were forced to face the Steelers without head coach Kevin Stefanski, tight ends coach Drew Petzing, defensive backs coach Jeff Howard, offensive guard Joel Bitonio, wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge and cornerbacks Denzel Ward and Kevin Johnson due to positive COVID-19 testing.
