NFL Honors recap: Browns come up empty, but Myles Garrett, Nick Chubb get recognition

See how the votes transpired.

The fourteenth annual NFL Honors show was televised Thursday night. Snoop Dogg hosted the event this year, which aired on FOX at 9:00 pm ET.

For Browns fans, the big story was whether DE Myles Garrett would win the AP Defensive Player of the Year award for the second year in a row. He did not — but at least he still beat Steelers DE T.J. Watt. There actually was a confusing snafu on the broadcast, though, as the on-screen graphic falsely listed Garrett as the winner:

RB Nick Chubb also received some votes for Comeback Player of the Year, but he didn’t come close to winning it. Browns RT Jack Conklin also received a vote. After Cleveland took home four awards last year, they came up empty (understandably so) this year.
