Injuries are an unfortunate aspect of the game of football, but the reality is that the NFL is a ‘next man up’ league, where players have to be ready to play a big role even when they least expect to need to .
A prime example of that mentality came in Week 15, when Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb suffered a broken foot just eight games into his campaign while returning from the 2023 season-ending knee injury — the toughest break, literally, for a player who has already overcome is. a lot of. It didn’t take long, however, for backup Jerome Ford to step up and break off a 62-yard score – Cleveland’s only touchdown of the day.
Ford may not have the biggest upside in the world, especially in a volatile Browns offense, but considering he’s likely about to resume a starting role in the offense, this could be just the boost managers need to fill out their line-up for the remainder of the match. the play-offs.
