Nick Chubb nominated for FedEx Ground Player of the Week

Chubb rushed for 126 yards and a TD in the Browns’ 10-7 win

Nick Chubb made his triumphant return to the Cleveland Browns backfield after missing four games with a knee injury. Chubb quickly kicked off the rust and ran his way to 126 yards and the team’s only touchdown in a 10-7 win over the Houston Texans.

Chubb’s performance earned him a spot as one of three weekly finalists for the FedEx Ground Player of the Week award. Chubb is up against Tampa Bay’s Ronald Jones and Josh Jacobs of the Las Vegas Raiders.

The award is determined by fan voting, so Browns fans can help seal the deal for Chubb by selecting him at the NFL’s nomination page.

Nick Chubb just missed winning FedEx Ground Player of the Week once again

Chubb has finished in second place as a finalist two weeks in a row

For the second week in a row, Browns running back Nick Chubb was one of three finalists for the FedEx Ground Player of the Week. And just as happened in the fan voting in Week 2, Chubb finished in second place.

Chubb fell short of the votes needed to top Minnesota’s Dalvin Cook. Chubb ran for 108 yards on 19 carries and scored twice, but that wasn’t enough to overtake a great game from Cook: 22 carries, 181 yards, 1 TD.

Chubb and the Browns did pick up the victory in Week 3, beating Washington 34-20. Cook and his Viking teammates fell 31-30 to Tennessee, remaining winless on the season. Getting the individual accolade would have been nice for Chubb, but we’ll take the team win any day. Chubb did win the honor once in 2019 and was a finalist two other times.
