In a gruesome and hazardous attack on a defenseless player, Browns defensive end Myles Garrett struck Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph in the skull with Rudolph’s helmet during Thursday’s night’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium. The incident occurred in the closing seconds of the game, which the Browns won 21-7.
Garrett’s strike on Rudolph, which occurred as tensions between the two players escalated, followed a play where Rudolph had completed a pass to running back Trey Edmunds. Garrett brought Rudolph down to the ground as the play ended and the two men then jostled.
