3. Thursday Night Football ends in a brawl

The Cleveland Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night, but the real story was the brawl that ended the game. Browns star Myles Garrett got into it with Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and Garrett ended up ripping off Rudolph’s helmet and hitting the quarterback in the head with it. A big brawl ensued and Garrett is certainly facing a lengthy suspension.
