Kyle Brandt lost his mind praising Anthony Nelson during ‘Angry Runs’
For the second time in three years, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are heading into their bye week hot off a blowout win over the New Orleans Saints.
Here’s to hoping things go a little better on the other side of it than it did then. Before the Bucs face the toughest stretch of their schedule so far this season, everyone is looking back on how great things went in Week 8.
Specifically how it was one of the best games of Anthony Nelson’s career.
The longtime Buccaneer bashed the Saints on the bayou, finishing Sunday’s game with four tackles, two sacks and a pick-six. It was that last play is the one that continues to stand out and get replayed across social media feeds, as it saw him absolutely embarrass Spencer Rattler with a signature play of the season.
Needless to say, NFL Network’s Angry Runs king, Kyle Brandt, was a fan.
Kyle Brandt honors Anthony Nelson’s Angry Run against the Saints in Week 8
Nelson made the cut as one of this week’s finalists for ‘Angry Runs’, and while he didn’t end up winning he did get a pretty gnarly shoutout from Brandt who lost his mind narrating the play.

That’s so unbelievably metal — like, seriously. Check out the Wes Borland body double in the background jamming out while Brandt goes catatonic while praising Nelson. It’s a cool little exclamation point on what was by far the best day of Nelson’s career so far.
What made his even better than it otherwise would have been was the fact that he’s been in the mix for so long down in Tampa Bay. He’s never been a starter but he’s managed to carve out such an important role player spot on the roster that the Bucs gave him a $10 million contract this past offseason.
Keep in mind Haason Reddick got around $14 million, and that’s who Nelson was replacing on Sunday.
It was a huge game for one of the most likable players on the team, and so see him get spotlighted by Brandt in such a cool was awesome. It’s yet another example of the Bucs impressing all the right people are they continue to put together an incredibly satisfying season of success.
Cowboys Trade for Myles Garrett Just Got a Lot More Likely After New Report
A notable NFL insider has offered up a detailed explanation for why the Dallas Cowboys making a blockbuster trade for Myles Garrett in the next week is very realistic.
After the Cleveland Browns gave superstar pass rusher Myles Garrett a four-year extension worth $160 million earlier this year, it seemed even more likely that the six-time Pro Bowler would actually finish his career in Cleveland. Then Week 8 happened.
On Sunday, Garrett had a game of a lifetime as he posted five sacks against the New England Patriots. However, it meant nothing as the Browns were still blown out by a score of 32-13. Garrett was seen enraged on the sidelines late in the game, and speculation grew louder that he could push for an exit like he reportedly did earlier this year.
However, many around the game believe his massive contract would make a trade very difficult. But, according to ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano, that may not necessarily be the case. He admits that trading Garrett now would mean a big dead cap hit to Cleveland in the years ahead. But various teams have taken on bigger cap hits while getting nothing in return.
“That’s a lot of dead money, but it’s not even close to the record,” Graziano writes. “The Broncos took on about $80 million when they cut Russell Wilson last year, and they made the playoffs last season and look poised to do so again. The Buccaneers are still carrying Tom Brady’s dead money and they won their division every season. We see teams do this more and more as the salary cap continues to rise significantly each year.”
Cowboys could create perfect draft scenario for Browns in Myles Garrett trade
Along with that, Graziano added that there are two other key factors in a potential trade before the Nov. 4 NFL trade deadline. First, Garrett has to want it. Considering the Browns’ long-term outlook and where he would go in the deal, waiving his no-trade clause shouldn’t be a big problem. But Cleveland also must get an offer that makes it worth taking on all that dead money.
Well, the Cowboys are one of the few teams that can make the sort of offer the Browns would want, and that is two first-round picks in April, according to Graziano. After the Micah Parsons trade, they will have two first-rounders in 2026, and following his exit, they still have a desperate need for pass-rushing help this season and beyond.
- Myles Garrett stats: 8 games, 10 sacks, 31 tackles, 15 tackles for loss
“Cleveland would be looking at the possibility of having four first-round selections in the 2026 draft,” Graziano wrote. “The Browns would be able to completely control Round 1 and come out of it with whichever quarterback they wanted. The acquiring team would have to pay Garrett a fairly reasonable $31.5 million in fully guaranteed money in 2026 and about $30.5 million in 2027.”
Based on those details, it sure seems like a blockbuster Myles Garrett trade for the Dallas Cowboys is there for the taking if the star pass rusher really wants out. Especially since the Browns could have a franchise-changing draft next year from what they could get in the deal.
