It was a night full of highlights and snow angels for the Cleveland Browns and star defensive player Myles Garrett as they defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-19.
The Browns defense . Reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett had a great night totaling three sacks and a forced fumble. His impact was enough for the Browns to secure a victory and show why he remains the top edge rusher in the professional football league.
Although Garrett made the biggest impact on Thursday night, the entire defense stopped one of the NFL's best offenses in the last month. Safety Grant Delpit also made a big contribution as he collected ten tackles and one for a loss in the contest. This was a big relief after the last few appearances, especially because it was against an AFC North rival.
Now let's take a look from the Browns' win over the Steelers:
