Rudolph instigated and tried to rip his helmet off first. Obviously, Steelers are the NFL darlings so they'll get a reprieve from this.
4 picks and gets mad he got tackled for a little longer than usual. Linked to the video showing him trying to rip off Garrett's helmet then tries to play victim later when he gets his comeuppance. What a bitch.

Edit: Rudolph kicked Garrett in the nuts too rofl. Pure bitch and then has the gall to call Garrett a coward!
November 15th, 2019 at 12:21 AM ^
Yes he did... after Miles Garett drove him into the turf, well after the play was over, with 8 seconds left in the game.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:23 AM ^
Oh please. It was a little longer than usual on the last play. Sack up and take the L. Rudolph is a baby.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:29 AM ^
I'll pray for you!

Says the Browns fan.
November 15th, 2019 at 9:03 PM ^
He is definitely parroting the Brown's fans' laughable talking points.
November 15th, 2019 at 5:08 AM ^
But seriously, isn't Garrett getting a reputation, and a bad one at that?
November 15th, 2019 at 9:04 AM ^
He's quickly becoming the Browns' Vontaze Burfict
November 15th, 2019 at 8:46 AM ^
Cube is a Browns fan. Typical response
November 15th, 2019 at 8:58 AM ^
Lol no I’m not. I don’t like either team. I’m an Eagles fan. I also don’t think this is “assault worthy” like you people are making it out to be.
Albert Haynesworth was 5x worse by stomping on a helmetless player’s head with his cleats on unprovoked.
Myles lost his cool after Mason was doing sore loser type shit. Garrett’s “late hit” didn’t even get flagged.
November 15th, 2019 at 9:12 AM ^
Serious question - have you ever played football? Have you ever been hit with a helmet?
If you had, I'm guessing you would not think that stomping on somebody (as despicable as it is) is 5X worse than swinging a 6-8 pound weapon at somebody's unprotected head. In fact I think you have the severity just about perfectly reversed.
November 15th, 2019 at 9:14 AM ^
Rofl you think getting hit in the head, partially indirectly, by a helmet is worse than getting stomped on by football cleats helmetless?
dude... mild to moderate contusion meet 30 stitches and possible permanent eye damage.
You have 0 clue.
November 15th, 2019 at 9:20 AM ^
I thought Myles Garrett was the biggest idiot of the week but now you've taken that crown. There is zero reason to justify Garrett's actions. He shouldn't have slammed Rudolph down at the end of the game and he should have just walked away after Rudolph retaliated. Garrett has no idea how to act like a man, instead, he acted like the man-child that he is. Unacceptable. I hope he gets suspended for the rest of the season and half of next, without pay.
November 15th, 2019 at 9:24 AM ^
Tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, but clear that you are just a clown. Enjoy your day
November 15th, 2019 at 9:28 AM ^
I’m sorry you cannot differentiate between blunt and sharp trauma or circumstance.
November 15th, 2019 at 9:32 AM ^
Swinging a helmet as a weapon aimed at somebody's head is circumstance. Fucking clown
November 15th, 2019 at 10:29 AM ^
"I'm an Eagles fan"
Shitty comments check out.
November 15th, 2019 at 9:17 AM ^
You're really gonna die on the hill where Myles Garrett straight up NFL Blitzed a guy??
November 15th, 2019 at 11:07 AM ^
he was virtually raping him on the ground 3-4 seconds after the play was over. yea, just take it.... what a solid take you have there cube.... jack..
November 15th, 2019 at 5:22 AM ^
Drove him into the ground? Lol yes late however he didn’t drive him into the ground. Garret could barely bring him down.
yes Garret is an idiot.
November 15th, 2019 at 9:18 AM ^
after Miles Garett drove him into the turf
From clip posted by the cube, looks like this is way over stated. Pitts QB landed on top of Garett. That being said, no excuse for Garett to swing a helmet at the dude. But Pitts QB is not without blame.
November 15th, 2019 at 10:29 AM ^
Exactly. One should take consequences into account when attacking a much larger, stronger man.
But Garrett has to take responsibility for his own actions. "I was provoked" is never an excuse. We all must have self-control. And the bigger and stronger we are, the greater our need to exercise it.
November 15th, 2019 at 10:27 AM ^
The "8 seconds left" is an interesting addendum--you wouldn't write it if you didn't think it was relevant.
I was getting a "what are you still blitzing for" vibe coming from the Steelers on that last drive, but thought I was probably imagining it...and then things blew up. The hit itself wasn't even flagworthy and usually when you drive someone into the turf you don't end up underneath him in the pile. But it happened on a meaningless play in the last seconds of the game so maybe it becomes problematic?
As usual the atmosphere's too tribal to get anywhere with the conversations but there's a lot of unacknowledged disagreement about what is or isn't ok. How hard do you hit in the last minute of a decided game? What's "part of the game" in the pile and what crosses the line? Just how far does something have to cross the line for retaliation to be permitted, if ever? Nobody's defending swinging a helmet, that's universal. But everything else from the hit to Pouncey kicking someone on the ground seems to be up in the air.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:28 AM ^
You are not even close to being correct. At least your horrible takes are not limited to Michigan football.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:30 AM ^
Steelers suck and it's great.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:33 AM ^
How are you so wrong about everything?
November 15th, 2019 at 7:19 AM ^
Trolls defend the indefensible.
November 15th, 2019 at 5:18 AM ^
And the Browns are Super Bowl bound?
November 15th, 2019 at 7:58 AM ^
Typical low life Ohioan response. Your team finally beats the Steelers (first time since 2014) and you're out there defending assault. Screw you.
November 15th, 2019 at 9:33 AM ^
Never set foot in the state of Ohio unless I was driving through it to reach Michigan for undergrad. Cleveland is a shit city with 0 future. At the rate people are flocking from Pittsburgh it’ll join Cleveland soon enough. Glorified college town.
November 15th, 2019 at 10:56 AM ^
Sure, buddy.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
A once great city losing residents and jobs is nothing to celebrate or poke fun at.
November 15th, 2019 at 2:13 PM ^
People aren't "flocking from Pittsburgh". Of those that are leaving the city, most are simply moving to the suburbs.
Educate yourself, tool.
November 15th, 2019 at 2:28 PM ^
Keep telling yourself that.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:30 AM ^
What is it about sports where anything is acceptable as long as a guy is wearing the right colors?
The whole apologist Browns fan narrative that "Rudolph was trying to remove his helmet first" is what you absolve Myles with. Myles who just did a take down that epitomizes unnecessary roughness and Rudolph is trying to push him off of him and that makes an assault ok?
I will never understand that perverse level of thinking.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:36 AM ^
What about a longer take down warrants someone trying to take your helmet off exactly? Didn't absolve Myles of any issue. You are extrapolating what isn't there.
I don't like either team actually. Just stating the facts.
Garrett is probably out for the season. Rudolph deserves a suspension too tho. Vintage, instigate and then cry when the retaliation is more than you bargained for.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:38 AM ^
Rudolph does deserve a suspension for so shamelessly using his head as weapon. He could have dented that perfectly good football helmet.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:41 AM ^
When did he cry? Not when his helmet was removed. When he was tomahawked with a helmet. And he just threw his hands up to say wtf was that because WTF was that.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:48 AM ^
What Rudolph did warrants a flag, that's about it. The takedown would have gotten a flag if it was a Lions player doing the takedown.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:49 AM ^
The question ' What is it ... where anything is acceptable as long as...' has a single word answer: tribalism.
Looking at current events, we can see it clearly extends beyond just sports :)
November 15th, 2019 at 4:33 AM ^
Agree..Tribalism is one of the more interesting basic human instincts. I think sports are a healthy outlet for exercising it as long as you recognize that it is mostly for fun. However, it’s also an effective avenue for emotional manipulation in areas like culture, politics and religion. By nature, you don’t instinctively recognize it in yourself, but just a little awareness that you have the natural emotional impulse makes it pretty easy to manage. Indulge in a little Sparty hate this week, but please remember to love and respekt the folks you disagree with in the real world.
November 15th, 2019 at 7:22 AM ^
Tribalism has lead to college administrations and fanbases looking the other way when young boys are molested, female athletes are molested, female coeds are sexually assaulted without prosecution, students are assaulted by mask-wearing athletes....the list goes on.
Hard to love and respect folks like that.
November 15th, 2019 at 7:22 AM ^
Tribalism is an aggregate term for a steaming pile of both instinctual and cultural behaviors which are interconnected in feedback loops and start with perception. It is the obligation of a mature thinking person to develop awareness of the many ways we manipulate ourselves and are manipulated in turn by our own instincts and the perceptual context within which we build our version of reality. It’s a lifelong chore.
November 15th, 2019 at 8:03 AM ^
sports = modern tribalism.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:34 AM ^
Wow. I didn’t think I could respect your opinion less. Yet here we are.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:37 AM ^
I know you think that slow motion helps your case but, honestly, in real time it looked way more intentional than here; if anything, it looks more like Rudolph was trying to sorta push him off of him.
Regardless, the guy who actually rips someone's helmet off and then starts swinging it around to hit someone loses the "he started it" argument.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:02 AM ^
Absolutely not! Let’s not make Rudolph to be some saint here. What Myles did was a typical football play and would be applauded by some as I guy playing hard regardless of score and time on the clock. Rudolph over reacted by grabbing his facemask(spare me this BS his hand got caught in there and he was pushing away) and that is what escalated the situation. Myles definitely took it up 12 notches with his inexcusable action, but If Mason keeps his cool none of this gets to this point. He was frustrated from his performance tonight.
November 15th, 2019 at 2:25 AM ^
That’s all fine but you still can’t swing a helmet at a guy and hit him with it. That is literal assault. There’s a difference between a dude grabbing your face mask at the end of a game, and taking someone’s helmet off to beat them with it. It doesn’t matter who instigated it. You can not take someone’s helmet off and bash them in the head with it. Garrett is lucky multiple Steelers lineman didn’t hold him down and bash his head in. You don’t bash someone’s head with any kind of weapon. I can’t say that enough times. There are lines that can’t be crossed. Mason did not cross a line, he did something stupid that should be fined. Garrett crossed a line and broke an actual law.
