Saints DE Cameron Jordan has a different take on the Myles Garrett incident

See what New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan had to say on Twitter about the Myles Garrett incident involving Mason Rudolph.

The New Orleans Saints will face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday in Week 11, and for the 7-2 Saints, a win feels like a must after losing at home last Sunday to the Atlanta Falcons, who entered the game at just 1-7.

After the San Francisco 49ers lost Monday night to the Seattle Seahawks to drop to 8-1, that loss to Atlanta has become all the more costly for New Orleans. Losing to a lesser opponent for the second-straight game, especially one in their own division, would further hamper their hopes for a high playoff seed. Tampa Bay can expect New Orleans to come out attacking the young secondary.

But, before Sunday’s action rolls around, many players are likely still processing what happened last night in the Thursday night matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns. In the closing seconds of that game, Browns defensive end Myles Garrett got into a scuffle on the ground with Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph, which eventually led to Garrett ripping off Rudolph’s helmet and smashing it over his head.

The NFL reacted today by suspending Garrett indefinitely, but, it seems one Saints player thinks Garrett isn’t entirely at fault for what transpired. See what defensive end Cameron Jordan had to say on Twitter.

While Rudolph may have played a part in starting the fight, we’ve seen plenty of brawls before, and none have escalated to the level like we saw last night. Garrett needs to know when to stop and move on.

He’ll have plenty of time now to learn that lesson.

Comedian Tom Segura tweets joke about Ndamukong Suh and Myles Garrett

The NFL world was stunned last night when Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett ripped the helmet off Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and then pummel him with it.

The play came with just seconds remaining in the game. The Browns ended up winning 21-7 to pull themselves to 4-6 and remain alive in the playoff race. But, naturally, the all-out melee was all anybody wanted to talk about after the game.

Today, the NFL wasted no time in handing out discipline to Garrett and a few other players involved in last night’s fight.

Take a look.

The play by Garrett was completely inexcusable and there’s no way to defend it. Football players put themselves at enough risk each game when they are on the field. As a fraternity of players, you understand injuries in the game happen, but you never want to intentionally end a man’s career (or life).

Perhaps not surprisingly, one name that kept popping up on Twitter in the aftermath of the Garrett incident was Ndamukong Suh’s. The Bucs defensive tackle has had his own history of suspensions for dirty plays, the most infamous one coming after he stomped on a player back in 2011.

Say what you want about Suh, but he never used a helmet as a weapon.

Still, comedian Tom Segura — who has several hilarious Netflix specials you should check out — couldn’t help but make a joke about Suh and Garrett.

I have a feeling even Suh wouldn’t condone behavior like that. I’m sure he’ll be asked his opinion sometime this week.

For now, though, the title of league’s dirtiest player belongs to a guy in Cleveland.
