Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt Rivalry Heats Up Ahead of Browns-Steelers Matchup

Garrett calls for an apology from Watt over last year’s Defensive Player of the Year snub as the two prepare for a divisional clash.

Myles Garrett will play Thursday despite a hip injury, while the Browns will be without key offensive lineman Dawand Jones due to a season-ending injury.
Garrett publicly addressed T.J. Watt's reaction to losing the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year award, calling it disrespectful and requesting an apology.
Watt responded by emphasizing respect for Garrett and focusing on the team rivalry rather than individual competition.
Both players remain top contenders for the 2024 Defensive Player of the Year award, with comparable stats through 10 games this season.
The Browns-Steelers divisional matchup is set to feature the ongoing rivalry between two of the NFL’s premier pass rushers, adding intensity to the game.
