The Cleveland Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 21-7, on “Thursday Night Football,” but the big story is the brawl that ended the game and the star defender Myles Garrett hitting the Steelers’ quarterback in the head with his own helmet.
After the game, Garrett was asked about the play and the lengthy suspension he’s most likely facing.
While he called the play “foolish” and “embarrassing,” he stopped short of apologizing for his actions.
"I made a mistake," Garrett told the media. "I lost my cool, and I regret it."
He added: "That is embarrassing. What I did was foolish, and I shouldn't have allowed myself to slip like that."
