Myles Garrett calls out refs for not ejecting Chiefs assistant coach
By Scott Rogust
Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett believes that Kansas City Chiefs running backs coach Greg Lewis should have been ejected alongside Ronnie Harrison Jr.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns did battle in what was an epic Week 1 matchup. While the Browns did enter halftime with a 22-10 lead, the Chiefs came back in the second half to win 33-29. But one of the big storylines in the game came when Browns safety Ronnie Harrison Jr. was ejected from the game for pushing Chiefs running backs coach Greg Lewis. The incident occurred after Harrison was on top of running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who was down following a play.
After the game, Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett shared his belief that Lewis should have been ejected alongside Harrison.
Myles Garrett believes Chiefs assistant should have been ejected alongside Ronnie Harrison Jr.
When looking at the initial angle, you can see that Harrison shoved Lewis. But an alternate angle showed that Lewis pushed Harrison off of Edwards-Helaire, prompting the Browns defensive back to shove him back.
The Chiefs were initially flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct following Lewis’ shove, but they later changed it to offsetting penalties and ejected Harrison from the game.
While the Browns did thrive for the first half, they notably collapsed on both sides of the ball, prompting another come-from-behind win orchestrated by Chiefs quarterback and former NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes.
It will remain to be seen what sort of discipline the NFL hands out as a result of the interaction between Harrison and Lewis.
