Thursday night’s game between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers ended with a fight on the field after Myles Garrett tackled Mason Rudolph to the ground with 8 seconds left. Things escalated when Garrett removed Rudolph’s helmet and struck him in the head with it, resulting in an immediate ejection.
On Friday, Garrett was suspended indefinitely by the NFL, and he will be forced to miss the remainder of the regular season and playoffs, if the Browns make it. Browns co-owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam issued a statement on the ruling and Garrett’s actions, saying “there is no place for that in football.”

In addition to Garrett being suspended indefinitely, Larry Ogunjobi was suspended one game for his actions. The Browns were also fined $250,000, as were the Steelers.
Maurkice Pouncey of the Steelers received a three-game ban for punching and kicking Garrett.
