Mike Tomlin on ESPN's Handling of Myles Garrett Interview: 'I Don't Think It Was Fair to Mason Rudolph'

Mike Tomlin is not pleased that Browns defensive lineman Myles Garrett again asserted that Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph used racial slurs during a confrontation last season.

Garrett alleged in November that Rudolph used a racial slur during a brawl that saw the Pro Bowl defensive end attack the quarterback with a helmet. He reiterated his claim to Outside the Lines' Mina Kimes last week.

"He called me the N-word," Garrett told Kimes. "He called me a 'stupid N-word.'"

But Tomlin said on Monday that he was more angry about ESPN's coverage of the allegation than he was with Garrett.
