In an intense blizzard, Nick Chubb drove his team forward, replicating the play that almost ended his career in Pittsburgh last year. Chubb’s perseverance paid off with a memorable touchdown, the highlight of a game his teammates will cherish. In the dying seconds of the game, Chubb powered through for a 2-yard touchdown, leading the Cleveland Browns to a triumphant 24-19 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. This victory snapped the Steelers’ five-game winning spree.
Chubb’s Redemption Against the Steelers
Chubb’s electrifying performance came in his first encounter with the AFC North leaders, the Steelers (8-3), since suffering a season-ending left knee injury in a Monday night game against the same team in Week 2 last September. After a difficult rehab and a similar knee injury in 2015, Chubb’s return to the field and scoring against the Steelers was a poetic moment.
Myles Garrett’s Praise for Chubb
Myles Garrett, who made three impressive sacks, expressed his admiration for Chubb, “It meant a lot to me. I know it means a lot to him,” said Garrett. “His resilience and his comeback in this game truly exemplify the kind of man he is. We absolutely love him.”
In the second quarter, Chubb had scored another 2-yard run. The Browns (3-8) managed to recover from blowing a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter and being down 19-18. With 3:22 left on the clock, the Browns got a chance when Pittsburgh punter Corliss Waitman made a 16-yard blunder.
The Snowy Showdown
In the midst of accumulating snow, Jameis Winston of the Browns completed a crucial third-down pass to Jerry Jeudy, reaching the Pittsburgh 9. Two plays later, it was Chubb who bulldozed his way into the end zone.
The Steelers had one last opportunity, but their Hail Mary on the final play was deflected by Browns safety Grant Delpit, triggering euphoria at Huntington Bank Field. This win against the Steelers provided some relief for coach Kevin Stefanski in a tough season and gave Browns fans a reason to celebrate.
Victory Amidst the Snowstorm
With a snowstorm transforming the field into a white canvas, the Steelers managed to wipe out an 18-6 deficit, scoring two touchdowns in a little over a minute. However, the Browns rallied back to secure their second divisional win after defeating the Ravens last month.
Garrett’s Outstanding Performance
Meanwhile, Myles Garrett outshone Steelers star T.J. Watt in a dominant display, including a crucial strip-sack of Wilson. This performance came after Garrett made comments about Watt’s apparent snub when Garrett was awarded the Defensive Player of the Year over him last season.

The Steelers will face the Cincinnati Bengals on Dec. 1, while the Browns are scheduled to take on the Denver Broncos on Dec. 3.
