Browns Star Myles Garrett Delivers Warning to Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers
Myles Garrett is ready to start carving a tombstone for Aaron Rodgers as the Cleveland Browns gear up for their matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
Garrett has more than 100 career sacks but has never taken down Rodgers, who signed with Pittsburgh this offseason.
Garrett brings out his infamous quarterback graveyard at Halloween, featuring headstones of quarterbacks he’s sacked — from Joe Burrow to Lamar Jackson. He’s ready to add the four-time MVP, whom he has a lot of respect for.
“He’s a great one,” Garrett said Friday. “He’ll probably get propped up a little bit higher than some of the others. But yeah. I’d be honored to put him in the graveyard, and definitely a lot of respect for what he’s done in his career, because he’s special.”
Garrett already has quite a list of quarterbacks in the graveyard. He has a hard time narrowing it down to a top five.
“I’m sure Pat (Mahomes) will be on there. Ben (Roethlisberger) would be on there. (Tom) Brady would be on there. Let’s see, I think one day (Justin) Herbert will be in there. He’s going to be a Hall of Famer one day, but after that, I don’t know. Hell, I don’t remember all the names I’ve sacked. I’m just worried about the next one.”
Browns DE Myles Garrett Looking to Get Back on Track
Garrett has four sacks this season but has been held without one the last two weeks. Part of that has been opponents implementing a quick passing game in an attempt to neutralize Garrett. He has a solution.
“Win quicker,” Garrett said. “At end of the day, if they’re going to throw the ball quick, then we’ve got to win quick. We’ve got to put his offensive line in his lap, got to make him uncomfortable with sitting right there in the pocket, not sitting back. And eventually we’re going to start taking away those short throws, those short intermediates. So there’ll be opportunities to make plays. We’ve just got to make sure it’s there. Third-and-longs, he can’t be settling for less. So we’ve got to put him in those situations.”
Rodgers has seen just about everything in his two-plus decades in the NFL — and he doesn’t hand out praise lightly. When it comes to Garrett, though, the veteran quarterback didn’t hesitate.
“Myles is a Hall of Famer,” Rodgers said. “He might not be in yet, but that’s where he’s going. He’s one of the few players in the league, over my 21 years, that you gameplan for and you watch the film, every team has a plan.”Myles Garrett, Browns Looking to Change Fortunes in Pittsburgh
The Browns head into the matchup with the Steelers at 1-4 and in desperate need of a win. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened often for the Browns in Pittsburgh. Cleveland’s last regular-season victory in Pittsburgh came in 2003.
“Winning in general would mean a lot. Doesn’t matter where it is or who it is. Right now we need to get a win desperately, and there’s got to be a sense of urgency with everybody,” Garrett said. “Now, is there some history behind it? I’m sure but behind any win or loss you can go back and find, but we want to beat these guys and there’s definitely layers to it, but the most basic of that is we need one.”
The Browns are a 6.5-point underdog on the road for the matchup.
Caleb Williams Responds to Jayden Daniels' Challenge: "It's About Performance, Not Words"
October 12, 2025 — In the high-stakes world of the NFL, young quarterbacks are often compared, scrutinized, and celebrated, but few rivalries have sparked as much intrigue as the one brewing between Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and Washington Commanders' Jayden Daniels. With both quarterbacks emerging as the future faces of their respective teams, their upcoming meeting on the field is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated matchups of the season.
Earlier this week, Daniels made headlines with strong words directed at Williams, stating, “Respect is earned, not given,” and indicating that he wasn’t willing to let anyone, including Williams, overshadow him. But Williams, not one to back down from a challenge, responded in kind — and his message is clear: "It's about performance, not words."
In an exclusive interview ahead of their Week 7 matchup, Williams addressed Daniels’ comments, saying, “Jayden wants to talk about respect? He’s going to have to earn it just like everyone else. I’m ready for the challenge, and when we meet on that field, I’ll show him exactly what that means. This isn’t about words—it’s about performance.”
A Rivalry in the Making
The rivalry between Williams and Daniels has been growing ever since both players entered the league. As two of the most highly touted quarterbacks of the 2025 draft class, the expectations surrounding their careers have been enormous. Williams, coming off a standout college career at USC, was drafted by the Bears with the hope that he could be the franchise's savior. Daniels, on the other hand, has quickly established himself as a rising star with the Commanders, showing poise, accuracy, and leadership on the field.
Williams’ response to Daniels' comments is emblematic of the competitive spirit that has defined his career thus far. Despite being only in his second season, Williams has already proven to be an electric playmaker for the Bears. His ability to move the offense with both his arm and his legs has made him a dynamic threat. However, Daniels’ comments have sparked a new level of intensity, signaling that their rivalry will not just be about their teams but about who can become the true face of the league's new generation of quarterbacks.
The Stakes Are High
For Williams, the game against the Commanders is more than just another chance to secure a win for the Bears. It’s an opportunity to assert his dominance in the growing rivalry with Daniels. Williams has proven time and time again that he’s not afraid to take on challenges, and this game will be no different.
"At the end of the day, it's about winning," Williams said. "I’m not here for the back-and-forth. When the whistle blows, it’s all about who can lead their team to victory. I’ll do my talking on the field."
For Daniels, this game is equally important. As a player who prides himself on his calm demeanor and leadership, Daniels knows that this will be a chance to show that his words are backed by actions. His early success with the Commanders has earned him respect, but a win over a high-profile player like Williams could solidify his status as one of the league’s premier young quarterbacks.
What to Expect on the Field
When these two quarterbacks face off, the game will be as much about their personal rivalry as it is about the team’s success. Both players have shown the ability to handle the pressure of leading their respective teams, and this matchup will likely come down to which quarterback can manage the game better in critical moments.
For the Bears, Williams' ability to break down defenses and make plays will be key. For the Commanders, Daniels’ poise and accuracy, especially in high-pressure situations, will be critical. Expect both teams to lean heavily on their young quarterbacks, making this a must-watch matchup for NFL fans.
Conclusion
As the battle between Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams heats up, all eyes will be on the field when the Commanders and Bears face off. With so much on the line for both teams and their young quarterbacks, this rivalry is only just beginning. Whether it’s Daniels proving his point or Williams showing that he’s the future of the Bears, this game promises to be an exciting and defining moment in the careers of both quarterbacks.
