Mason Rudolph Talks Myles Garrett's Racial Slur Allegation, Steelers Benching

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph has found himself in headlines ever since his Nov. 14 scuffle with Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett.

In the closing moments of a 21-7 Week 11 loss to Cleveland, Rudolph got tangled up with Garrett on the ground before the Browns star yanked the Steelers quarterback's helmet off and subsequently hit him in the head with it. Garrett was suspended indefinitely, with the remainder of the 2019 regular season and postseason serving as the minimum punishment.

Garrett appealed his suspension and said Rudolph used a racial slur on the field, which caused him to respond aggressively.
