“#Myles Garrett focused on Ben Roethlisberger, not Mason Rudolph<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Myles Garrett isn\u2019t thinking about Mason Rudolph or any narratives ahead of the Browns\u2019 Week 6 matchup against the Steelers.<\/p>\n

The star defensive end \u2014 who was embroiled in controversy for a Nov. 14 helmet-swinging incident with Pittsburgh\u2019s backup quarterback last season \u2014 had considered app<\/a>roaching Rudolph \u201cman-to-man\u201d about it.<\/p>\n

But not this week.<\/p>\n

This week, he\u2019s focusing on his opponent, Ben Roethlisberger, whom he vowed to \u201cchop down<\/a>\u201d on the night he was drafted No. 1 overall by Cleveland in 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t thought about it,\u201d Garrett said of speaking with Rudolph privately to reporters on Friday over video conference via Cleveland.com<\/a>. \u201cFocusing on how I\u2019m going to get to Ben. I\u2019ll cross that bridge when I come to it, whether that\u2019s down the road or whenever we see each other. I\u2019m just focused on the game<\/a> plan and getting the win. That comes secondary.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old All-Pro lineman was suspended indefinitely at the time for his role in the fight, which broke out in the final second of a 21-7 Browns win. Garrett then clocked the Steelers backup quarterback in the head with his own helmet later claiming Rudolph called him a racial slur, something Rudolph denies.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got play within yourself and not allow those emotions to guide you and your actions,\u201d he said. \u201cJust play how you always have, no matter if someone\u2019s there or no one\u2019s there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The time away from the field was difficult for Garrett, who thought about quitting, whether or not he was reinstated by the league.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did [think about quitting,]\u201d he told Cleveland.com in an interview in September.<\/a> \u201cWhether it was because of their decision or my decision, it was whether this was going to continue. \u2026 Life\u2019s funny that way. Fame is fleeting, athletic ability is fleeting and you have to make the most of it while it\u2019s here.<\/p>\n

Garrett was eventually reinstated in February, and the Browns extended him for five-years, $125 million in July. Five games into this season, he is an early frontrunner for the Defensive Player of the Year Award. He has recorded six sacks, 13 tackles, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.<\/p>\n

Sunday will be the first time he faces the Steelers since the fight in what could be an emotionally-charged game attended by around 6,000 fans at Heinz Field. The Browns played the Steelers again in December and lost by a score of 20-13, though Garrett was serving out his suspension at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just ready to play within the six seconds that the average play lasts,\u201d he said. \u201cAfter that, that\u2019s on them. I\u2019ll walk away from any situation that we have and [when] they snap the ball again, I\u2019ll be there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Browns (3-2) will attempt to topple the undefeated Steelers (4-0) in Pittsburgh on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
