Joe Buck called it “the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen on a sports field.” (He obviously hasn’t called a Bengals game this season).
Myles Garrett literally tried to commit a homicide in the waning seconds of Thursday night’s 21-7 Browns win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Cleveland, after the former No. 1 pick ripped off Steelers QB Mason Rudolph’s helmet and assaulted him with it.
Myles Garrett just hit Mason Rudolph in the head with Rudolph’s helmet. Yikes. He has to be suspended multiple games for this. That’s wild. Never seen it before. https://t.co/BWPKxUAKOc

Arguably the biggest surprise of the entire night was the Browns organization letting Myles Garrett field interviews after the game, moments after he just inflicting CTE on an outmatched quarterback.
I guess I shouldn’t question the inner-workings of the most undisciplined team in professional football.
After Baker Maker blatantly deemed his teammate’s actions “inexcusable” and claimed they “endangered the other team,” Myles Garrett seemed to believe the wild incident didn’t overshadow the Browns win.
Myles Garrett doesn’t think his actions take away from the #Browns win.
“A win is a win. … I don’t think it’s overshadowed by what happens in 8 seconds.”

In Garrett’s defense, he did call using another player’s helmet as a weapon against him “foolish,” but that wasn’t enough for NFL Twitter to glaze over him downplaying it.

Your own teammate and coach’s seem to think it overshadowed it 🤔

Garrett will obviously be suspended, but the question remains, how long? Raiders fans seem to think that anything less than a 12-game suspension would be an injustice to the good and innocent Vontaze Burfict, who was suspended for the rest of the season for his latest helmet-to-helmet hit on Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle.
If @King55Tez gets 12 games on a bang bang play then @MylesLGarrett should get at least that and maybe more. That’s not football bro. https://t.co/wVECQ4Ojtk

Anything less than 12 would be a joke considering Burfict. https://t.co/LIAxdLE0Td
