Myles Garrett can’t believe refs missed obvious hold against him
By John Buhler
Myles Garrett has indisputable proof that he was held on this one particular play.
The Cleveland Browns are 9-3, but Myles Garrett has a serious bone to pick with the officials.
Garrett was in pursuit of Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Given that Garrett is one of the best pass-rushing talents the league has seen in a long time, he was surely going to bring the Titans passer to the turf. Too bad Tennessee offensive tackle David Quessenberry got away with one of the most blatant holds you will ever see. Garrett retweeted this clip with, “bruh”.
Cleveland is almost certainly playoff bound now at 9-3 on the season
While Garrett may have a gripe with the officials for missing this awful holding call, his Browns team is about to make the AFC playoffs for the first time since 2002. The last time the Browns were 9-3, Bill Belichick was their head coach back in 1994 and Nick Saban was their defensive coordinator. The only downside for Cleveland is they will only be getting in as a Wild Card team.
Unless the division rival Pittsburgh Steelers collapse in December, Cleveland will likely make the seven-team field as the No. 5 or No. 6 seed. That means they will face either the AFC East or the AFC South winner on the road Wild Card Weekend. This could mean a return trip to Nashville in January in a No. 4 vs. No. 5 matchup if the Titans win their first division crown since 2008.
It was a great win for the Browns over the Titans, but Garrett was clearly denied a sack here.
