The Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers are set to clash in what promises to be a bruising Thursday night battle.
Despite the Steelers entering as favorites and potentially poised to hand Cleveland a tough defeat, Browns defensive powerhouse Myles Garrett is gearing up for an intense divisional showdown that could rival any matchup across the NFL for its physicality.
Speaking to the media, Garrett shared his thoughts on this historic rivalry with News 5 Cleveland’s Camryn Justice.
“Two teams that really don’t have that much love for one another and play a physical brand of ball,” Garrett explained.
He also acknowledged the stakes, noting, “They’re looking forward to trying to take the No. 1 one spot in the AFC and we’re fighting for tooth and nail for each and every win we get.”
