Jets QB Justin Fields Sends Strong Message to Myles Garrett & Browns Defense
The Cleveland Browns are set to return to action in Week 10 for a matchup against the New York Jets. Considering how both teams have struggled this season, this figures to be a good opportunity for the Browns to get back in the win column. And it sounds like Jets’ quarterback Justin Fields knows he’s got his work cut out for him in this one.
While Cleveland has struggled on offense this season, its defense, led by superstar defensive lineman Myles Garrett, has been one of the best units in the league. Ahead of this contest, Fields opened up on the challenge of facing the Browns’ defense, and he doesn’t seem too excited to be lining up against Garrett.
Justin Fields Praises Browns’ Defense Before Week 10 Meeting
Much has been made of the Browns’ offense this season, and it isn’t too hard to see why. With the team having one of the most intriguing quarterback situations entering the year, folks were curious to see how that situation would shake out and whether or not the offense would be able to have any success this season.
Cleveland quickly replaced Joe Flacco with Dillon Gabriel under center, but no matter who has been playing at quarterback, the Browns have struggled. Thanks to their star-studded defense, though, the team has largely managed to remain more competitive than expected this season. If Cleveland can get any sort of offensive production, it usually has a shot of pulling off an upset victory.
Against the Jets, the Browns are actually favored to win for once, due in large part to the fact that New York just shipped two of its best defensive players (Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams) to new teams at the trade deadline. Without them, more pressure has been placed on Fields, and he appears to know that he could be in for a long day against Garrett and the rest of Cleveland’s defense.
“I think they have one of the top defenses in the league,” Fields admitted on Thursday. “Of course, they have (Garrett) on the other side of the ball. Great player, so first and foremost, taking care of him. Great second-level defenders, too, and DBs as well. They trust their DBs a lot; they play a lot of man coverage. It’s gonna be about really just executing on our side of the ball, and like I said, taking care of (Garrett) and making sure he doesn’t wreck the game.”

Garrett is coming off one of the most impressive performances of his career in Week 8, as he sacked New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye five times, while also forcing a fumble. It didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, though, as the Browns still suffered a 32-13 loss when all was said and done.
Individual performances are nice, but at the end of the day, everyone in Cleveland wants to win, including Garrett. If the defense can pressure Fields and mix up their coverages in the secondary, there’s a decent chance they will be able to lead their team to victory. Kickoff for this contest is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday afternoon.
Tyler Shough Predicts His Replacement Will Be Heisman-Caliber QB, Brings New Hope for Saints’ Future
Tyler Shough, starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, has made a surprising prediction about the team’s future at quarterback. In a recent interview, Shough stated that he believes the Saints will eventually
“I think the next guy who comes in will have the tools to take this team to the next level,” Shough said. “I’m not going to be here forever, but I have a strong belief that the Saints are looking for someone who can come in and make an immediate impact, someone who could be in the running for the Heisman — the real deal.”
Shough, who has been with the Saints for several seasons and is seen as a veteran leader, has had his ups and downs in recent years. While he has shown flashes of brilliance, he recognizes the ever-changing nature of the NFL and understands that the future of the Saints may very well rest in the hands of a younger, more dynamic quarterback.
“I’ve had a lot of great experiences here, and I’ve always given my best,” Shough continued. “But I also know that every team looks to the future, and they want someone who can bring consistent excellence. The Heisman is a big deal, and I think the Saints will be eyeing a player with that level of talent. I truly believe that player is out there.”
The Saints have been in search of a long-term solution at quarterback for years, and while Shough has been serviceable, the team is looking ahead to potential future stars. It’s no secret that the
The Saints' front office has made it clear that they are focused on long-term success, and they will likely continue evaluating top quarterbacks in both the draft and free agency. Shough's acknowledgment of this shift reflects a sense of maturity and professionalism, as he understands the cycle of player development and the team’s desire to stay competitive.
“I’m not here to make it about me,” Shough said. “It’s about the team, and I want the best for the organization. If the next guy is the future, I’ll be happy to support him and help in any way I can.”
As Shough looks toward his own future, his words speak to the evolving direction of the Saints, who will continue to assess their options under center. Whether that future includes Shough or a young,
