The Cleveland Browns may have lost in a huge heartbreaker against the Las Vegas Raiders in their Week 15 showdown on Monday, but running back Nick Chubb is not losing his confidence.

After the Browns fell to the Raiders in a rather close encounter, 16-14, Chubb expressed his optimism about their chances to make the playoffs. They dropped to the bottom of the AFC North with a 7-7 record, but they are not really far behind with division leaders Cincinnati Bengals just at 8-6.

The Browns would have tied the Bengals' record had they won, but there is no use crying over spilled milk now. Besides, Chubb is confident they have all the tools they need to make a run for the postseason, per Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal.

Nick Chubb echoed the sentiment Browns defensive end Myles Garrett had following their frustrating loss. While they did let a big chance slip away from their hands, Garrett highlighted that their mission doesn't change even with their latest setback.

The Browns' goal is to win, take the division title and make the playoffs to contend for the Super Bowl, and they won't be stopping until they achieve that.

“The goal is to win out. Destiny is in our favor if we do what we need to,” Garrett shared.

The Browns have a tough road ahead, with the Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals waiting for them in their last three games. By the looks of it, though, they are embracing the challenge that they are on a collision course with.
