BREAKING NEWS: Myles Garrett makes it clear that his harsh criticism of the Cleveland Browns' offense was necessary after their dominant 31-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
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.”
How Myles Garrett, Browns played against Dolphins
Myles Garrett and the Browns earned their second win of the season, blowing out the Dolphins in convincing fashion.
Cleveland was active on offense throughout the course of the game, scoring in all four quarters. They boasted a 17-6 lead at halftime and never looked back, holding Miami’s offense to a scoreless second half.
Dillon Gabriel didn’t reach the end zone but continues to make progress in his first starts as the Browns’ quarterback. He completed 13 passes out of 18 attempts for 116 yards while adding 12 yards on the ground after four rushes.
Quinshon Judkins tore up the Dolphins’ run defense all game. He finished with 25 of the team’s 33 carries for 84 yards and three touchdowns. As for the receivers, four made two or more receptions. Harold Fannin Jr. led the way with four catches for 36 yards. Jerry Jeudy came next with two receptions for 17 yards, Malachi Corley had two catches for 17 yards, while Jerome Ford caught two passes for 10 yards.
The Browns will look forward to their next matchup, being on the road. They face the New England Patriots on Oct. 26 at 1 p.m. ET.
Ex-Steelers QB Named Potential Target for Browns in Wild Trade Idea
Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox named the Cleveland Browns a potential suitor for former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson.
Quarterback has been a bit of a circus for the Cleveland Browns during the 2025 calendar year. That has only continued recently, with the Browns trading veteran Joe Flacco before their matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6.
This week, Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox suggested the circus behind center for the Browns could continue. On Tuesday, Knox named the Browns one of two potential suitors for former Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson.
“The primary reason Wilson might draw interest? He’s cheap. With a base salary of just $2 million, he would be a budget alternative for any team currently getting poor quarterback play or in need of a veteran mentor,” wrote Knox.
“He will also remain the most sensible QB target if and when another starter goes down with a long-term injury.”
This year alone at quarterback, the Browns traded for Kenny Pickett, signed Flacco and then drafted Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. Over the past seven weeks, Cleveland has now traded Pickett and Flacco.
The idea the Browns could now be interested in Wilson is absolutely wild.
Why Browns Could Acquire Another QB
Trading Flacco seemingly cleared roster room for Sanders to be QB2 for the Browns going forward. However, Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski declined to name Sanders the backup for Gabriel in Week 6 early this week.
“All roster type of things, I always have to be mindful of our players and our players’ development,” Stefanski told reporters. “And I want to make sure that I’m always doing what’s best for our players and, of course, our team. But with young players, I’m always thinking about — last week, making the change to Dillon, you have to think long and hard about that, because these are young players that you are so invested in their development.
“So, I’ll let the week play out [and] make a decision later.”
Cleveland trading Flacco to help a division rival only to then turn around and give up draft assets for Wilson would be bizarre. But it makes sense for the short term if the Browns aren’t comfortable with Sanders as QB2.
With the Browns, Wilson wouldn’t receive his next opportunity to start. In fact, he’d be a mentor to another rookie signal-caller (a pair of them).
But if Wilson costs less than what Cleveland received for Flacco, then the Browns could win the quarterback exchange.
Why the Giants Probably Want to Trade Russell Wilson
The New York Giants received a bit of a scare with Jaxson Dart on Thursday night. The rookie quarterback left briefly to be evaluated for a concussion.
But he returned to the game, a contest the Giants defeated the defending champions 34-17.
Dart is now 2-1 as an NFL starter. On Thursday night, he completed 17 of 25 passes for 195 yards with a touchdown. Dart also ran for 58 yards and another score.
If Dart suffers an injury like he almost did Thursday, Wilson could start for the Giants again. However, New York also has veteran Jameis Winston.
The Giants could move on from Wilson, dealing him for draft compensation, and promote Winston as QB2.
Knox projected Wilson’s trade value to be a conditional 2026 sixth-round pick. That could be an appealing price for both the Browns and Giants.
Giving up a sixth-rounder means the Browns keep the fifth-round pick they received for Flacco. For the Giants, they will get what they can for Russell Wilson.
The veteran quarterback could be seeking a fresh start anywhere.
Dating back to last season, Wilson has now lost seven consecutive regular season games. That’s the longest losing streak of his NFL career.
