Myles Garrett made his thoughts on his criticisms toward the Cleveland Browns offense clear after beating the Miami Dolphins 31-6 on Sunday afternoon.
Cleveland has struggled throughout the early portion of the 2025 NFL season, ranking near the bottom of the league in terms of offense. Garrett expressed his frustrations ahead of the matchup, wanting that area to step up significantly to help out the talented defense.
The Browns balled out against the Dolphins, entertaining the home crowd with touchdown plays while getting big stops on the other side of the ball. Garrett, who made two tackles and a sack, reflected on the win after the game, per reporter Scott Petrak. He didn’t have regrets about his critiques, knowing it will take a lot for the team to be consistently on the right track.
“I’m always going to tell it how it is, that’s just my nature,” Garrett said afterward. “I’m going to shoot you straight and I have no problem saying what I say to them up here and vice versa. So I’m not trying to say anything to disparage anybody or try to get anybody either removed from their position or anything like that. I want everybody here to be a benefactor to our success.
“So it all came together today, and I hope we continue to rally around everything that we’ve been talking about and I’ve been talking about.”
