Steelers players immediately made sure Garrett gave up the helmet
Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett appeared to scare Pittsburgh Steelers players on Sunday as he ended up with a black and gold helmet in his hands after a play.
As the Steelers tried to get a first down, Garrett got in on the run. When he got back up, Garrett noticed the Steelers helmet on the ground. Steelers offensive lineman Broderick Jones quickly hopped over to the star defensive lineman to take the helmet back.

Steelers players are apparently a bit scarred from Garrett’s helmet-swinging incident during the 2019 season. The incident occurred in the fourth quarter of the two teams’ game. Mason Rudolph dropped back to pass when Garrett took him down. Garrett took Rudolph’s helmet off of him and swung it wildly. A skirmish ensued and punches were thrown.

The NFL suspended Garrett indefinitely for the incident, which cost him the rest of the regular season. He alleged at the time that Rudolph directed a racial slur at him but the NFL found no evidence to support the claim. Garrett was reinstated in 2020.
