Myles Garrett Opens Door to Leave Browns After Controversial Postgame Comment — Fans Furious, Speculate He Wants to Join Packers
Green Bay, WI – October 13, 2025
After a 23–9 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 6, Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett stunned fans and analysts with a postgame comment that has sparked outrage — and even rumors that he may be eyeing a move to Green Bay in the future.
Speaking candidly after the game, Garrett delivered high praise for the rival Packers, calling them the current standard of the NFC:
“The Packers right now are playing on a completely different level — they’re not just chasing the NFC North, they’re chasing the Super Bowl. The way they control the line of scrimmage, the way that defense suffocates you — it’s pure dominance. Losing to Green Bay isn’t something to hang your head about. They’re not just contenders anymore… they’re the standard of the NFC.”
The quote spread like wildfire, triggering immediate backlash among Browns fans. Many accused Garrett of “admiring the enemy” after a poor individual showing (0 sacks, 1 QB hit). Others speculated he might be hinting at an eventual exit — possibly to join the very team that just dominated Cleveland.
The hashtag #GarrettToPackers quickly trended in Ohio, generating tens of thousands of posts within hours.
Game Recap: Packers 23 – Browns 9
1st Quarter:
The Packers took an early 6–0 lead with two Anders Carlson field goals (44 and 50 yards). The Browns’ offense sputtered, gaining just 34 total yards on 2.8 yards per play.
2nd Quarter:
Carlson added a 48-yard kick to make it 9–0. Cleveland finally got on the board with a 31-yard field goal by Andre Szmyt just before halftime (9–3), helped by a “running into the kicker” penalty that extended their drive.
3rd Quarter:
Jordan Love found Romeo Doubs for a 12-yard touchdown (16–3). The Browns answered with another field goal (16–6), but the Packers’ defense, led by Rashan Gary and Jaire Alexander, dominated the trenches — sacking Dillon Gabriel twice and shutting down Cleveland’s offense.
4th Quarter:
A costly Jerome Ford fumble recovered by Quay Walker set up an 18-yard TD pass from Love to Jayden Reed, sealing the game at 23–6. Szmyt added one more field goal late (23–9), but the Browns never threatened.
Key Performances

Jordan Love: 21/30, 235 yards, 2 TDs (Doubs, Reed), 115.3 passer rating.

Officiating Controversies
The game featured 12 accepted penalties (Packers 5, Browns 7), two of which drew sharp debate online:
-
Defensive Holding on Jabrill Peppers (Q2): A light contact penalty extended a Browns drive that led to a field goal. Many called it a “soft call.”
Missed Review on Jerome Ford’s Fumble (Q4): Replay suggested the ball might’ve touched the ground before the recovery, but no review was initiated. The Packers scored a touchdown five plays later, sealing the game. Hashtag #RefsVsBrowns trended with over 10,000 mentions.
After the game, Garrett admitted the Packers’ dominance was overwhelming. But the timing of his praise — immediately following a lifeless performance by Cleveland — struck fans as tone-deaf.
One fan wrote on X:
“You don’t call your biggest rival ‘the standard of the NFC’ after they humiliate you. That’s not leadership — that’s surrender.”
As rumors swirl, the bigger question lingers:
Is Myles Garrett simply showing respect… or quietly signaling he’s ready to wear green and gold?
