Myles Garrett boldly asserts the Browns’ dominance on the brink of the Super Bowl.
Myles Garrett, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, asserted that the Cleveland Browns endured one of the highest injury tolls in the NFL last season, a factor he believes ultimately prevented the team from securing its inaugural trip to the Super Bowl in franchise history.
During an appearance on ESPN’s First Take on Friday, February 9, Garrett reflected on the impact of injuries to numerous key players, which hampered the Browns’ otherwise impressive regular-season performance. When asked by Stephen A. Smith about what might have transpired if the team hadn’t been plagued by injuries, Garrett expressed his belief that they could have been contenders to play in the upcoming Super Bowl.
He mentioned the significant blows suffered by players like Deshaun Watson and Nick Chubb, highlighting the collective adversity the team faced. Despite the setbacks, Garrett expressed pride in the camaraderie and resilience displayed by his teammates throughout the season, from training camp through every challenge they encountered.
