The Cleveland Browns struggled to convert turnovers into points for much of the 2018 regular season, but the opposite proved true in the second quarter of their AFC North Division showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati.
After generating their first turnover of the game when defensive back Damarious Randall corralled his team-leading third interception, running back Nick Chubb was on the receiving end of a 14-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Baker Mayfield.
The Mayfield-to-Chubb touchdown gave the Browns a 28-0 lead over the Bengals with 2:25 to play in the first half.
On third-and-three from the Cincinnati 14-yard line, Mayfield fielded the snap from center JC Tretter and looked toward the left side of the formation for an open receiver, where he found Chubb breaking free behind the coverage of a Bengals defensive back.
Chubb jumped at the four-yard line to try and corral the ball, which he ended up pinning against the back of safety Brandon Wilson while falling backwards to the ground in the end zone.
A replay review upheld the call on the field of a touchdown, which was Chubb’s second receiving score of the season and second in as many weeks.
