Vikings-Browns game balls: Cleveland running back tandem shines
Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt combined for 169 yards on the ground, and Myles Garrett anchored a stellar performance from the Browns' defensive line.
Nick Chubb
Browns running back
On a day when Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield was spraying throws all over the field, Chubb ate up yards and the clock, gaining 100 yards on 21 carries.
Kareem Hunt
Browns running back
It wouldn't be right to give a game ball to only half of Cleveland's tandem. Chubb had 31 more yards, but Hunt got the touchdown and had perhaps the most significant run of the day, a 33-yarder on third-and-20 at the Browns 26 that led to a field goal right before the half.
Myles Garrett
Browns defensive end
A week after setting a franchise record with 4½ sacks, Garrett anchored a dominant performance by the Cleveland defensive line. He had one-half sack, two tackles for loss and four of the Browns' 10 QB hits on Kirk Cousins.
Justin Jefferson
Vikings receiver
Jefferson was a bright spot for a stalled Vikings offense, collecting six catches for 84 yards and a touchdown. He would have been over 100 yards if a 37-yard catch had not been called back because of a penalty.
Mike Conley was in Minneapolis, where he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game, on Sunday during the robbery.
