CLEVELAND (AP) — Nick Chubb scored on a 3-yard touchdown run with 19 seconds left in overtime and Cleveland rallied to stun Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-17 in Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett’s final start before Deshaun Watson returns from his suspension.
Chubb powered through a pile of bodies at the goal line as the Browns sent Brissett off with a win. Watson, who was banned 11 games by the NFL for sexual misconduct allegations, will start next week in Houston.
The Browns forced OT on tight end David Njoku’s remarkable, one-handed TD catch with 32 seconds left in regulation.
Brady threw two touchdown passes but couldn’t get anything going in the 10-minute OT.

A skunk was on the loose in the stands inside FirstEnergy Stadium during the game.
The critter was initially spotted going up and down steps in a section of seats near the tunnel to the Browns locker room.
Fans kept their distance from the skunk, which searched the aisles and under seats for food before hiding under a step.
A security guard placed a box over the animal, which wasn’t harmed and eventually worked itself free.
