Steelers Send AFC North Rival Myles Garrett Into Spiral As He Completely Calls Out Browns Offense

The Pittsburgh Steelers have not lost at home to the Cleveland Browns since 2003, and that streak continued after they got a relatively easy win at Acrisure Stadium in Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season. Nearly every single thing was going Pittsburgh's way, as Cleveland had no answers for anything that Mike Tomlin's unit was doing. The score does not do it justice; it was an overall dominating performance on both sides of the ball, even though neither team was able to get a turnover. Phenomenal play in the trenches is what helped the Steelers win the game.

After the game, Browns defensive end Myles Garrett blew up on his own team. It started with him calling out Cleveland's own offense for being unable to get the job done, as he said that his group finds a way to "lose the same way every time." 

The Steelers held the Browns to just 248 total yards, as it wasn't a very fun matchup Cleveland. They failed to get touchdowns whenever they would have any sort of a quality drive, and they were limited to just nine points. This makeshift offensive line could not keep rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel upright at all, and the secondary did its job in keeping receivers uncomfortable when running crossing routes. 

Later on, Garrett was asked about watching how well the Steelers' pass rush was doing. He responded with a subtle shot at his own defense's performance in this game. 

It didn't matter whether it was the first quarter or the fourth quarter; the Steelers were still drawing up blitzes. With a two-score lead, cornerback Jalen Ramsey came flying in from a slot blitz to take Gabriel down for the sixth and final time in this contest. Meanwhile, Garrett and the Browns could not get any sort of pressure on Aaron Rodgers, as the veteran diced up this Cleveland defense. 

There is nothing that motivates Garrett like a game against the Steelers. He was talking trash throughout the preparation about how he was going to add Rodgers to his "graveyard" and how Steeler Nation "fuels" him. He certainly was not fueled up in this matchup, as he only recorded two tackles, with one of them coming late in the fourth quarter when the game already seemed to be out of reach. 

Steelers Win First Battle Of The Year Against The Browns

What makes everything even more hilarious is the fact that Garrett always talks about how Steelers fans say that TJ Watt is better than him. In this case, however, Garrett talked about how it "must be nice" for Pittsburgh to be able to generate pressure on the quarterback when the supposed-best edge rusher can only complain.

On the other side, Watt made an impact in numerous ways. He had five tackles, a half-sack, and a pass defended as he kept putting pressure on Gabriel. It seemed like nearly every Steeler on defense was having a field day, especially around the line of scrimmage. Watt didn't do everything, of course, but he made sure the commentators said his name while Garrett stayed invisible.

Garrett may now learn to shut his mouth and focus on preparing for the game, as opposed to talking trash and posting a hype/hate video on social media. He got absolutely humbled in the Week 6 game, and he is throwing his team under the bus because of it. He chose to stay in Cleveland and get a ridiculous payday as opposed to contending like he claimed he wanted to in the offseason.

What do you think about the Steelers shutting Garrett down and him responding by calling out his team? Let us know in the comments or on X at @Steelers_ChrisB.
