Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett slammed his helmet onto the ground in frustration amid the team’s loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday. The moment, captured on video, highlighted the growing tension within the Browns’ locker room as the team continues to struggle with its performance on the field.
Garrett, who set a franchise record for most sacks in a single game with five, was far from elated despite his standout performance. The Browns’ 32-13 loss to the Patriots left the team in a difficult position, with a record that has deteriorated significantly over the past season.
Garrett’s frustration on the sideline was a stark reminder of his internal conflict. Following the team’s poor 2024 season, he had requested a trade, a decision that sparked widespread debate among fans and analysts. However, he later signed a four-year, $123 million contract extension with the Browns, indicating a shift in his stance.
The incident on Sunday appears to reflect his unresolved tensions. Despite his commitment to the team, the Browns’ continued struggles, including a recent loss to the Patriots, have clearly impacted his mindset. With the season entering a critical phase, Garrett’s future remains uncertain as he balances his desire to win a Super Bowl with the challenges of playing for a team that has struggled to find its footing.
