The Cleveland Browns lost a last-minute heartbreaker to the New York Jets in Week 2, and running back Nick Chubb has one major regret: scoring a touchdown.
It wasn't just any touchdown, though. Chubb scored a touchdown with just 1:55 left on the clock, and when the extra point went wide, the score was 30-17.
Chubb is now aware of this, and he told 92.3 The Fan on Tuesday that he believes he cost the Browns that win against the Jets. RB Nick Chubb: "I probably shouldn't have scored right there, looking back at it. It cost us the game...it's only a problem because we didn't win. I probably should've went down."Chubb might feel bad, but he is in no way solely responsible for how the game ended. It's not like he scored that touchdown and the game suddenly ended with the Browns losing. There was 1:55 left when the Jets got the ball back, and their offense doesn't take the field alone.
The Cleveland defense were also active participants in the game after that touchdown — or at least they should have been. The let the Jets and 37-year-old Flacco trample them, especially the defensive backs, who couldn't execute when they were needed most. Hopefully the offense, and the defensive backs especially, send Chubb a six-pack and a thank you/I'm sorry card. Since he's on the radio taking responsibility for the loss and essentially apologizing for doing his job, it's the least they can do.
