Wildest thing I ever saw. Was 10 yards from it. Myles Garrett completely lost it, connected the helmet square on Mason Rudolph’s head. And the Browns were celebrating the whole thing from the sideline.

If you thought the action on the field at the end of the Pittsburgh Steelers game against the Cleveland Browns was disgusting, there might have been something worse. According to ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler, while Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was assaulting Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph by striking him in the head with his own helmet, Garrett’s teammates were celebrating it from the sideline.
The attack itself is a reflection of the entire Browns organization, but to know Garrett’s teammates not only endorsed that sort of behavior, but cheered for it, is worse. The NFL will hand down punishment on the parties involved, including Garrett, Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey and Cleveland defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi, but the Browns aren’t going to be able to shake off how poorly they handled this entire situation.
