Nick Chubb runs for a 2-yard touchdown in heavy snow with 57 seconds left, and Cleveland stuns its division rival, 24-19, to end the Steelers’ five-game winning streak. The Browns had blown a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter.
Nick Chubb ran for a 2-yard touchdown in heavy snow with 57 seconds left, and the Cleveland Browns stunned division rival Pittsburgh, 24-19, on Thursday night, ending the Steelers’ five-game winning streak.
Chubb’s score came in his first game against the AFC North-leading Steelers (8-3) since the running back sustained a season-ending left knee injury on a carry last year at Pittsburgh.
The Browns (3-8) had blown a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter and were trailing 19-18 before getting the ball back with 3:22 remaining after Pittsburgh punter Corliss Waitman shanked a 16-yarder.
With snow piling up and covering the yard lines on the field, Cleveland quarterback Jameis Winston completed a third-down pass to Jerry Jeudy to the Pittsburgh 9-yard line. Two plays later, Chubb barreled into the end zone.
The Steelers had one last chance, but quarterback Russell Wilson’s Hail Mary on the final play was knocked down by Browns safety Grant Delpit in the end zone, touching off a wild celebration at Huntington Bank Field.
Amid a disastrous season, beating the Steelers eased pressure on Coach Kevin Stefanski and gave Cleveland fans something to savor.
Chubb also scored on a 2-yard run in the second quarter.
