Browns RB Nick Chubb, WR Amari Cooper set team milestones on Monday
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb and WR Amari Cooper reached milestones in Monday's 32-13 win over the Bengals.
Chubb ran for 101 yards for the 27th 100-yard game of his career, moving him into second in franchise history for 100-yard rushing games.
Jim Brown holds the record with 39 100-yard performances over his nine-year career. If Chubb stays at his current pace, the record is well within reach.
Chubb also scored his ninth and 10th touchdowns of the season, putting him three away from a career high. His 10 touchdowns and 841 rushing yards are both league highs.
Cooper recorded a season-high 131 receiving yards and scored a touchdown, making him the second Brown to have three games of over 100 yards receiving and a touchdown in the same season.
The first to do it was Josh Gordon in 2013.
Additionally, Cooper became the first Brown since 2015 to record a reception of over 50 yards in consecutive games. Travis Benjamin achieved the feat in Weeks 1 and 2 of the 2015 season.
Rookie cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. also had the best game of his young career, resulting in a nomination for Rookie of the Week.
He allowed 27 total yards on 10 targets with two pass break-ups, and held Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins to eight yards when the two were matched up.
The win also keeps Kevin Stefanski undefeated (6-0) against Cincinnati as head coach of the Browns.
Cleveland is 3-5 heading into its bye week. The Browns will face Miami on the road in Week 10.
