If you turned off the Pittsburgh Steelers game before it was over you really missed out. All the fireworks happened in the final moments when a brawl broke out between the two teams. The part you are going to hear the most about in the coming days was Browns defensive end Myles Garrett hitting Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph over the head with his own helmet.
After the game the media talked to Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey. He was in the middle of the scrum and went after Garrett after the assaulted Rudolph. He hit Garrett several times once he got Garrett on the ground.
But Pouncey makes no apologies for defending his quarterback. He said he’d accept whatever suspension the NFL hands down but his point was pretty clear. He did it for his teammate and he’d do it again. When asked if he thought he’d get suspended Pouncey said, “At this point, who cares? My man got hit in the head with a helmet. I’ll accept whatever penalty it is.”
Pouncey also said he believes the NFL should suspend Garrett for the season. A sentiment echoed by Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward. History says the league won’t suspend him for a season but we should know in a few days.
