Myles Garrett calls out Steelers, T.J. Watt after Browns win: ‘I’m No. 1’
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.
Steelers WR George Pickens says Browns aren’t a good team after Browns beat Steelers
The Steelers’ star seemed spiteful after the game
The Pittsburgh Steelers nearly completed a 12-point fourth-quarter comeback win over the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night. A Calvin Austin touchdown grab put them on top 19-18 after going down 18-6 following a Jameis Winston touchdown run. Unfortunately, the Steelers’ defense allowed the Browns to score with less than a minute left and Pittsburgh fell to 8-3.
Following the clock hitting triple zeroes, receiver George Pickens and Browns cornerback Greg Newsome got into a fight that had to be broken up and the two men had to be separated. Following the game, Pickens blamed the conditions for the loss and said the Browns were a bad team.
I don’t really think the Cleveland Browns are a good team at all,” Pickens said. “I think the conditions kind of saved them today.”
George Pickens on the loss to the Browns: “Conditions played a huge, huge part in today’s game. I don’t really think the Cleveland Browns are a good team at all. The conditions kinda saved them.”
