Myles Garrett going against Mason Rudolph is a juicy story line within Sunday’s Browns-Steelers game, but the Cleveland defensive end isn’t interested in entertaining any talk about it.

Garrett, who is trying to help the Browns clinch their first playoff berth in 18 years, has been named a Browns game captain for Sunday’s showdown. Cleveland needs a win to wrap up a postseason bid.
Despite missing some time this year due to COVID-19, Garrett has still managed to rack up 44 tackles, 12 sacks and four forced fumbles in 13 games. We’ll see if he can add to that sack total against Rudolph this weekend.
Browns-Steelers will kick off at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.
