The Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Cleveland Browns in a snowy game on Lake Erie. The offense could not get anything going throughout the first three quarters of the contest. Even when they did finally get a couple of touchdown drives, it was not enough, as the Browns were able to capitalize on a last-minute drive themselves to take a five-point lead. That is where the game ends, and the Steelers will fly back home wondering why they keep having momentum-killing games like this every single season.

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (#95) rushes the passer during a game against the Indianapolis Colts in Cleveland.

During the postgame interview on the field, Myles Garrett gave his take on what happened as he boasted about having the better stats in this game, claiming that he deserves another AP Defensive Player of the Year Award.

“I’m number one. That’s from edge one to Defensive Player of the Year. I’m the guy, so that runs through me. There’s no other person being defended as I am — or schemed or planned against like I am.”

Garrett did have a great game, as he sacked Russell Wilson three times, along with three tackles for loss and three quarterback hits. He is now up to 10 sacks on the year.

Despite winning the DPOY Award in the 2023 season, he obviously takes offense to being told by Steeler Nation that he did not actually deserve it.

Steelers’ TJ Watt meets with Browns’ Myles Garrett after a game.

Earlier in the week, Garrett bashed TJ Watt for how he supposedly reacted to not winning the award, even though most of the talk about the snub has come from his older brother, JJ Watt. That is a very odd vendetta to have, considering he actually won the title and is still salty about the reactions coming from everyone else.

TJ Watt responded by complimenting Garrett’s game and just talking about the business of the game in general. He did not even complain in his response and just moved on to the next question quickly. Apparently, Garrett did not see that as enough of an appropriate response and continued to be cocky about the whole situation.

Steelers’ Opponents Have Proved Garrett Wrong On One Thing

Garrett claimed that no one schemes to stop any other rusher like they do for him, which is just a false statement. Watt has been chipped the most out of any player in the league, and second place is not even close. That doesn’t even take double-teams and triple-teams into account, as teams will do everything they can to stop No. 90 from ruining the offensive game plan.

What do you think about Garrett being cocky and salty about the whole scenario around the AP Defensive Player of the Year Award? Will he win it again, or will Watt take it back? Let us know in the comments.
