It was a historic day on Sunday as Cleveland Browns superstar Myles Garrett broke the all-time single-season sack record against the in-state rival Cincinnati Bengals. The refs stopped the game temporarily to let Garrett and his teammates celebrate a genuinely historic moment. However, Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor was not happy about the stoppage of play.
“There’s five minutes left in our season. We’re playing for our lives out here, and I was never told that we’re going to stop the game and in a critical moment like that. And the refs just said that they made a decision that they were going to stop the game, and they said that they tried to do it as quickly as possible, I didn’t feel that.”
On Monday’s episode of ESPN’s ‘Get Up,’ Rex Ryan and others called Taylor out for complaining, especially for his comments about fighting for their life when they were already eliminated from the playoffs, well before that moment. Ryan also said that Garrett deserved that moment because he made history, and that Cincinnati needed to get over it.
