Dawgs in the NFL: Nick Chubb continues to lead Cleveland turnaround

With the win, Cleveland is now 5-6 on the season and just a game out in the wild card race. The Browns get to play a Pittsburgh Steelers team this week that Cleveland beat just two weeks ago. The Browns come into the game riding a three-game winning streak.

Sony Michel also had a positive rushing day, as he finished with 85 yards on 20 carries for the New England Patriots. The weather for the Patriots’ game against Dallas was miserable — like Georgia-Kentucky bad — but New England was able to do just enough to pull out a 13-9 win.

New England’s offense did receive a jolt as it welcomed left tackle Isaiah Wynn back into the offense. He had been out since Week 2 with a toe injury.

Smith, Floyd and Javon Wims will all be in action this Thursday as the Bears take on the Detroit Lions. The status of Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford is unclear at this point, as ESPN reported that there have been discussions of shutting him down due to his back injury.

As for the Top Dawg in the NFL — our weekly honor which goes to the Bulldog who had the best week in the NFL — we’re rolling with Chubb. He’s become one of the best running backs in the NFL in a very short time. This should come as no surprise to long-time Georgia fans.
