VIDEO: Slow Motion Alternate Angle of Myles Garrett Hitting Mason Rudolph With Helmet is Brutal
By Michael Luciano
Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett found himself smack dab in the center of one of the most disgusting ends to a game in modern NFL history when he ripped the helmet off of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and proceeded to smack Rudolph in the head with it in the midst of an ugly fight. The assault was captured in slow motion, and it makes Garrett look even more like a ruthless barbarian.
Rudolph, Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey, and Browns defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi were all involved in the melee to varying degrees, but there's no question that Garrett is ultimately right in the center of this-- and that there's absolutely zero excuse for his abhorrent, dangerous behavior.
The slow motion replay makes Garrett's rage look more horrifying. Garrett is certainly going to get a suspension, but now that this angle has been made public, there is a legitimate chance that Garrett, who has 10 sacks in 10 games this year, will be suspended for the rest of the 2019 NFL season (among other potential penalites against the Browns).
Every new piece of video that comes to light makes Garrett look even worse. The league is probably going to have no choice but to act swiftly and severely. That's how bad this all was.
