Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh is quite a fan of the Cleveland Browns running back duo of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Getting his Ravens defense prepared to face them is a big concern as the two teams ready to face one another in Week 1.
Harbaugh had nothing but praise for Chubb, Hunt and the Browns rushing attack in his press conference on Monday.
“They have, by their own account, the two best backs in football,” Harbaugh responded when asked about the Browns RBs. “Not just this year, but going back historically, that’s been said in their camps. I can see why. They have two great running backs. The run game is going to be important to them.’’
He speaks from firsthand knowledge. Chubb torched his Ravens for 165 rushing yards and three TDs in the 2019 meeting in Baltimore, a 40-25 Browns win that was the high point of the season for Cleveland. If the Browns are to find success in Baltimore on Sunday, Chubb and Hunt will need to play well.
