Behind the Steel Curtain
The Browns star didn’t hold back
The Steelers were dealt their third loss on Thursday night when the Browns defeated Pittsburgh 24-19. Cleveland earned the victory in large part because their star edge rusher showed up while Pittsburgh’s pass rush did not.
Myles Garrett finished the game with three sacks and a forced fumble and was one of the Browns’ top difference-makers in their win. He had some words for the Steelers, Steelers fans, and T.J. Watt after the game.
“I’ve got a lot of respect for [Watt], a lot of respect for all of the guys over there... but I’m No. 1,” Garrett said. “That’s from edge No. 1 to Defensive Player of the Year. I’m the guy. That runs through me. There’s no other person being defended as I am or schemed or planned against like I am.”
The Steelers will see Garrett and the Browns again very soon when the two teams clash in Week 14 in Pittsburgh, where the Steelers haven’t lost to Cleveland in the regular season since 2003.
