The Cleveland Browns may not have taken the smoothest of paths to building an offensive line this season, but the work is paying off.The interior of the line has been solid from Week 1 with center JC Tretter and guards Kevin Zeitler and Joel Bitonio https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Austin-Corbett-Jersey , but the tackles have struggled. Over the past few weeks, however, right tackle Chris Hubbard has settled down, and while it has only been two games Nick Chubb Jersey , left tackle Greg Robinson has been an improvement over rookie Desmond Harrison.Add it all together, and the Browns currently have the seventh-best offensive line in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus:Mayfield has not been the only beneficiary of the line’s play, as rookie running back Nick Chubb is coming off a 176-yard rushing game against the Atlanta Falcons that include a franchise-record 92-yard touchdown run.A quick run through the rest of the offensive line rankings shows some potential good news for the Browns defense as well.Cleveland has six games remaining on the schedule and get to play the Cincinnati Bengals (currently ranked No. 25) twice Chad Thomas Color Rush Jersey , the Houston Texans (No. 27) and Denver Broncos (No. 19) before the end of the season.
