NFL admits officiating mistake in Eagles vs Chiefs game fans outraged

After the Cleveland Browns’ crushing 23–9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6, star defensive end Myles Garrett stunned the football world with a postgame comment that has fans furious — and sparked rumors he could be eyeing a move to the rival Steelers. Speaking to reporters after the game, Garrett was surprisingly candid, openly praising the Steelers and labeling them as the “standard of the AFC.” His tone, more admiring than competitive, sent shockwaves through Cleveland’s locker room and among the fanbase still reeling from another disappointing loss. “The Steelers right now are playing on a completely different level,” Garrett said.“They’re not just chasing the AFC 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 Pittsburgh isn’t something to hang your head about. They’re the standard of the AFC.” The comments instantly went viral across social media. Browns fans accused Garrett of showing disloyalty and “publicly admiring a division rival,” while Steelers fans flooded online threads joking that “he’s already auditioning for Pittsburgh.” Several analysts noted his words carried a tone of admiration rarely heard from one of the Browns’ biggest stars. Garrett’s statement comes at a tense time in Cleveland, where frustration with the coaching staff and offensive inconsistency has grown after a 1–5 start. Insiders suggested that if the Browns’ season continues to unravel, the former Defensive Player of the Year could look for a fresh start elsewhere — and Pittsburgh might be a tempting destination. The Steelers, meanwhile, continue to rise behind a rejuvenated defense led by T.J. Watt and Aaron Rodgers, improving to 4–2 and taking control of the AFC North. Garrett’s praise may have stung Browns fans, but for the Steelers, it was another sign that even their fiercest rivals are beginning to recognize Pittsburgh’s power shift.
