The Pittsburgh Steelers fell short against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football, 24-19, and Myles Garrett’s three-sack effort was a big reason why.

Just after the game — and after a week of trash talk — Garrett spoke with sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung on the Amazon Prime Video broadcast, and he had one final message for rival edge rusher T.J. Watt and the Steelers.

“We spoke at the coin toss, but that’s about it,” Garrett said, regarding Watt. “Like I said, I got a lot of respect for him, lot of respect for all the guys over there and the other edge rushers in the league, but I’m number one.”

“That’s from defender one [and] edge one to defensive player of the year,” the Browns star continued. “I’m the guy, so that runs through me.”

Garrett went on to claim that there is no other defender in the league that is schemed for and “planned against” the way he is. “Just goes to show, you can throw that out the window, I’m going to find a way,” a very confident Garrett concluded.

The Steelers will drop to 8-3 after this loss in Cleveland, while the Browns are now 3-8. And as usual, this AFC North rivalry has been reignited ahead of a rematch in Pittsburgh on December 8.
