NFL Trade Rumors
The Browns’ defense has been very strong through three games, but they had their best outing of the year in Week 3, where they held Green Bay to 10 points and forced a game-changing turnover. Cleveland DE Myles Garrett thinks the sky is the limit for this defense because of their collection of talent at every position.
“As good as we want to be,” Garrett said, via Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk. “I think we can be as dominant as we want, so we see what we know we can do. As long as we stick together, don’t worry about the scoreboard, execute what we know we can do, and be where we are supposed to be. We have talent on every part of the field, so as long as we keep our heads up, don’t worry about the noise, what’s going on around us, we can be the very best.”
Ravens RB Derrick Henry committed his third fumble of the season in Monday’s 38-30 loss to the Lions. Henry apologized to Baltimore’s fanbase, saying he’s at a “loss for words” after recording three all of last season.
“I’m at a loss for words,” Henry said, via NFL.com. “I apologize to Flock Nation. It’s not a good feeling. I’m going to keep working to get it fixed.”
Henry said he’s been working on his ball security since Week 1 and is taken aback that he continues relinquishing the ball.
“It’s just crazy. Three fumbles [in three games] straight,” Henry said. “I’m trying every day to fix the problem that just keeps occurring, so I’m trying to work on it. I’m my worst critic, so I’m not going to try to beat myself up too much, but it’s hard not to when it’s consecutive and consistent [instances] of me doing the same thing.”
Ravens HC John Harbaugh reflected on Henry’s fumble in Week 3, saying the defender had a good look at taking a “blind shot.”
“It hasn’t been (a problem), and I don’t think it’ll be going forward, but we have to get it fixed,” Harbaugh said. “That was kind of a blind shot there. I thought he had the ball in good position. I thought the defender got a good look at it, though. It was kind of a retrace cutback play. So, [it was] a little bit of the perfect storm, but still, we just want to protect the football; all our guys do, and we have to do it. We have to be good at it.”
The Steelers squeaked out a win against the Patriots in Week 3 after forcing five turnovers, which was a huge point of emphasis for a struggling defense going into the week, per OLB T.J. Watt.
