The NFL has recently taken action against Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, fining him $25,000 for his post-game criticism of officials. According to an Associated Press source, the fine was issued for Garrett’s comments following the Browns’ loss to the Denver Broncos on November 3rd.
Garrett had expressed his frustration with the officiating during the game, claiming that the referees had missed several calls that could have changed the outcome of the game. He also accused them of being biased towards the Broncos.
The NFL has a policy that prohibits players from publicly criticizing officials, and it appears that Garrett has violated this policy. The league has not commented on the fine, but it is believed that they felt it was necessary to take action in order to maintain the integrity of the game.
This is not the first time Garrett has been fined by the NFL. He was previously fined $10,000 for a hit on an opposing player during a game in October.
Garrett’s comments have been met with mixed reactions from fans and analysts alike. Some believe that the NFL should have taken a more lenient approach, while others argue that Garrett should have known better than to criticize officials in public.
Regardless of one’s opinion on the matter, it is clear that the NFL is serious about enforcing its policies and will not hesitate to take action when necessary. This is a reminder to all players that they must be mindful of their words and actions when it comes to criticizing officials.
