3 Cleveland Browns whose stock is up after Halloween Steelers nightmare
3. Cleveland Browns Myles Garrett
PFF declared Myles Garrett as “unguardable,” unfortunately, despite the defensive end posting an eye-popping win rate (44.8 percent), he managed to sack Ben Roethlisberger just once.
Garrett’s the Browns best and most talented player, and we’re reminded of it weekly. That said, I can’t help but think he was outplayed by T.J. Watt.
Watt had 1.5 sacks. He joined with Cam Heyward on a key stuff of Nick Chubb on fourth down. He also recovered Jarvis Landry’s fumble. The nature of his position is different than Garrett in that he’s an outside linebacker in a 3-4, but he’s one of those guys who seems to be involved in every play.
That’s not taking anything away from Garrett. He was great. But after the costume and the quarterback graveyard, it was Roethlisberger who rose from the dead to lead the Steelers.
