sport news Browns' Nick Chubb admits to scoring game-LOSING touchdown in 31-30 loss ... trends now

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb pointed the finger at himself, taking the blame for a touchdown run that should have put away the Jets on Sunday.

Instead, it gave them hope.

'I probably shouldn't have scored right there, honestly, looking back at it,' Chubb, 26, said on Tuesday. 'It cost us the game.'

Two days after the Browns collapsed and blew a 13-point lead in the final two minutes to lose 31-30 to New York, Chubb said he made a mistake by going into the end zone for his third touchdown (TD) with 1:55 left.

With the Browns leading 24-17, Chubb took a handoff from the 12-yard line and ran left. He made a cutback, stepped through a tackler and scored to put Cleveland up by 13 and send a raucous home crowd into a frenzy.

Looking back, Chubb wishes he had done things differently.

If he had run out of bounds or been tackled after picking up a first down, the Browns could have simply taken three knees, run out the clock and improved to 2-0 for the first time in 29 years.

Instead, after Chubb's TD, the Browns committed a dizzying array of errors in less than two minutes.

First, rookie kicker Cade York missed an extra conversion point, the Browns' secondary miscommunicated and gave up a 66-yard TD pass, wide receiver Amari Cooper failed to recover New York's onside kick and the Browns let Jets quarterback Joe Flacco, operating with no timeouts, throw a go-ahead TD pass with 22 seconds left.

It wasn't until after the game that Chubb realized it could have all been avoided.

'A lot of things went wrong, not just one thing,' he said. 'But collectively as a unit, as a team we could have all done things different, but it's only a problem because we didn't win. So I probably should have went down.'
