The Cleveland Browns have grown accustomed to outside noise, but this week the criticism hit a little harder. Several national analysts referred to the Browns as a \u201cwashed-up team,\u201d pointing to injuries, inconsistent quarterback play, and a lack of late-game execution. While the comments spread quickly across social media, one Browns star was never going to let the narrative go unanswered \u2014 defensive cornerstone Myles Garrett.<\/p>\n
Garrett, widely regarded as one of the NFL\u2019s most dominant defenders, responded with a mix of irritation and confidence when asked about the criticism after practice on Wednesday. To him, the idea that Cleveland is fading is not just wrong \u2014 it\u2019s fuel.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople love to throw dirt on us anytime they get the chance,\u201d Garrett said. \u201cBut every year, they forget who we are until we remind them. If they think we\u2019re \u2018washed,\u2019 they\u2019re about to find out how wrong that is.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Browns have faced a turbulent season marked by key injuries across both sides of the ball. Still, the defense \u2014 led by Garrett \u2014 has remained one of the strongest units in the league. Even during stretches where the offense struggled, Garrett has consistently delivered game-changing plays and served as a stabilizing force for the franchise. That\u2019s why he finds the \u201cwashed-up\u201d label not only inaccurate, but borderline disrespectful.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve taken hits, sure. Every team does,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut washed-up teams don\u2019t fight in every game, don\u2019t stay in the playoff race, and don\u2019t have the kind of heart this locker room has. We\u2019re built for moments like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Garrett\u2019s message has resonated deeply with the roster. Teammates have praised his leadership, noting that his response sets the tone for how the team will approach the final stretch of the season. Inside the organization, the belief remains strong that the Browns are capable of turning the narrative around \u2014 and that the defense, with Garrett at its center, will be the ones driving that shift.<\/p>\n
The star pass rusher made it clear that the only real way to silence the critics is on the field. \u201cYou don\u2019t change minds with words,\u201d Garrett said. \u201cYou change them with wins. And that\u2019s exactly what we plan to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the Browns gear up for a crucial set of matchups, the outside noise continues \u2014 but Garrett has ensured that Cleveland\u2019s response will be loudest where it matters most: on game day.<\/p>\n
Las Vegas, NV<\/strong> \u2014 As the Las Vegas Raiders prepare for their high-stakes Week 11 clash against the Dallas Cowboys, an unexpected storm erupted on the practice field, shaking up the team just days before the game. In a shocking display of frustration and rivalry, quarterback Geno Smith and defensive star Maxx Crosby reportedly clashed during a heated drill, with tensions running so high that teammates had to step in and break them apart.<\/p>\n “It got out of hand,”<\/strong> Smith admitted after the altercation. “Maxx and I were both fired up, and things got intense. We\u2019ve got a lot of passion for this game, but sometimes that can spill over. It\u2019s all good now. We\u2019re focused on Dallas.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
