Late in a November 2019 matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football, things took a nasty turn as Browns’ defensive end Myles Garrett clubbed Steelers’ quarterback Mason Rudolph over the head with the quarterback’s own helmet, setting off an awful fight on the field.
Following the ugly incident, Garrett alleged that Rudolph used a racial slur, leading to the swinging of the helmet.
It was a tough situation for the teams, players and the NFL to be in as a he-said, she-said on the field of play regarding an alleged racial slur being used.
