The NFL has hit a new low.
Myles Garrett created a violent rampage in the final moments of the fourth quarter in the Cleveland Browns’ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football. After one of the final plays, Garrett ripped the helmet off quarterback Mason Rudolph and used the helmet as a weapon to strike Rudolph in the head. In response, Steelers offensive linemen began punching and kicking Garrett in the head while scrums began to break out over the field.
It was one of the most violent and disgustingly displays in the NFL — and in professional sports — in recent memory. Garrett will doubtlessly receive a large suspension for his actions — and it’s clearly deserved. His rage was completely out of control.

The Browns had another piece of dirty play on Thursday, with safety Damarious Randall delivering a dirty helmet-to-helmet hit on receiver Diontae Johnson, who was left bleeding from his ear.
The reaction on Twitter was decisive and tumultuous. No one could believe what they were seeing. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes even weighed in on the insanity.

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.

What’s the suspension for trying to crown someone with their own helmet? Rest of the season?
