Absolutely,
Mason is very lucky. He has got to realize he has no business in there with no helmet on [Reply]
Garrett should be done for the year and miss time next season. Rudolph will probably miss 3-4 games and that IDK who the other dude is or what he did.
I think my favorite part after Garrett's attempted murder of Rudolph, was Pouncey punching and kicking Garrett in the helmet. Why, oh why, do NFL players insist on punching each other in the head with their helmets on? [Reply]

He seems behaved off the field. But not like burfict was getting in much trouble off the field... While in the NFL at least.
I'm convinced Megatron is Garrett's agent.
He picked up today exactly where he left off last night........with Rudolph being the instigator.
Mason Rudolph's representation could consider legal action against Myles Garrett following Thursday night's on-field incident.
"There are many risks an NFL QB assumes with every snap taken on the field," Rudolph's agent, Tim Younger, tweeted in the aftermath of Garrett's attack. "Being hit on your uncovered head by a helmet being swung by a 275 lb DE is not one of them." He added that the matter will be reviewed "thoroughly." Rudolph miraculously wasn't hurt in the incident, but Garrett will still be subject to a lengthy suspension and perhaps even assault charges. In using his helmet as a weapon, Garrett showed not only an egregious lapse in judgment but also little regard for another player's safety. Thursday's chaotic ending in Cleveland was an embarrassment for all involved. [Reply]

I'd be shocked if Rudolph misses any significant time if at all. Everyone has pegged this right. Was he in the wrong, sure? But if Garrett doesn't react like that would Rudolph get in any trouble let alone a fine at absolute worst? It would be shrugged off as just football being football. The only reason Rudolph's actions are even in question is because of Garrett's extreme overreaction. [Reply]
Personally, I think the Steelers should kick any offensive lineman that DIDN'T throw a punch or a boot at the guy that hit their QB in the head with his own helmet.
There is plenty of blame to go around, but Garrett cost himself $30M last night. [Reply]
I'm curious what people think about the hits to the head. Given the NFL's stance on protecting against head injuries, my inclination is that punches or kicks to most body parts won't get you a lot of punishment, but hitting people in the head is a major offense.
Garrett obviously has a major problem in this regard so we don't need to even go there, but I think Pouncey will be the interesting story line. I think Pouncey might've gotten off with just a fine except for the fact that he was kicking a guy in the head while the guy was on the ground. That's a major problem. [Reply]
