Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett fueled his mini beef with TJ Watt by calling out the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive end after ‘Thursday Night Football.’
Myles Garrett led the Browns to a stunning 24-19 home win over the surging Steelers in the snow-filled affair. Garrett recorded three of Cleveland’s four sacks in the win, bringing his season total to 10.
After leading Cleveland to a much-needed win in prime time, Garrett took a shot at the 2021 Defensive Player of the Year in his post-game interview.
“I’m number one….edge one to Defensive Player of the Year,” Myles Garrett said. “I’m the guy. That runs through me….I’m going to find a way.’
“I’m number one… I’m the guy.” @Flash_Garrett has no doubt in his mind he’s the best defender in the world. 😤#TNFonPrime | @Browns pic.twitter.com/N2HFSG0cI9

TJ Watt expressed shock when Garrett was named the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year over him, tweeting, “Nothing I’m not used to.” Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Garrett stated that Watt owes him an apology.’
Watt won Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2021, but many were stunned when Garrett won the award over him in 2023. Watt had 19 sacks (tops in football) and eight pass defenses, while Garrett had 14 sacks and three pass defenses.
