Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb Albert Cesare/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK

Can Browns RB Nick Chubb unseat 'King Henry' with a rushing title?

Over the past several seasons, Titans RB Derrick Henry has claimed the title of NFL's best running back, but the Browns' Nick Chubb is looking to unseat "King Henry" in 2022.

Henry is the odds-on favorite to win the rushing yards title, but Chubb (841) is trailing Henry (870) by just 29 yards through their eight games. 

Who's the better back this season?

Although Henry has the lead in yards, Chubb has a better yards per carry average (5.6) and one more rushing touchdown (10) than Henry, per ESPN.com.

It's worth noting Chubb has also split touches with fellow teammate RB Kareem Hunt, who currently has 305 rush yards.

It's difficult to predict who will prevail as the Titans' combined remaining opponents record is 37-38-1 while the Browns' is 37-40-1.

The race for the rushing title may come down to the final week of the season. Both backs have a lot of respect for one another.

Henry recently called Chubb "the best running back on the planet."

Chubb's response: "I feel the same about him."
