3 things the return of Ethan Pocic means down the stretch

Through the first 11 weeks of the season, only three teams had a more efficient running game than the Cleveland Browns. Nick Chubb was leading the NFL in rushing, and the Browns were de-cleating defensive interiors in the trenches.

Then the injury to Pocic happened.

Since Pocic went down in Week 11, however, the Browns have fallen to 17th in rushing EPA, holding a negative value to that phase. Sure, the Browns found some ground to scratch and claw against the Ravens, but as they look to end the season on a high note, they have a chance to send Nick Chubb out with a bang.
