In the game, the Browns had four sacks, one each from Za’Darius Smith, Grant Delpit, Maurice Hurst II, and Ogbo Okoronkwo. Garrett believed there could have been more if it hadn’t been for the officials.
“It could have been a lot more.” Today’s officiating was a disgrace. Garrett described the experience as “horrible.” “And the fact that they’re letting them get away with holding false starting and hands to the face.” I know they called a couple, but they could have called the whole thing.”
The officials have been in the spotlight in recent weeks due to blown calls throughout the NFL. Garrett believes officials should be held to the same standard as players for bad plays.
“It’s a difficult job, but we have a difficult job as well.” “You can’t make it any harder by throwing, holding, and punching the rulebook in the face,” Garrett said. “I have a lot of respect for those guys, but we get judged on the plays we don’t make.” As a result, someone must hold them accountable for the plays or decisions they do not make. Every single play, they must be scrutinized in the same way that we are.”
Garrett has been held without a sack in the last two games. With 13 this season, he remains among the league leaders.

Despite Garrett’s rant about the officials, the Browns defeated the Jaguars to improve to 8-5. The win puts them in a good position to be an AFC Wild Card contender.
“Tough games define who you are,” said Garrett. “Coming out on the other side of this one feels really good for a variety of reasons, but the resilience of this team, and the toughness, those are the kinds of things that aren’t going to carry us very far into the rest of the season.”
Injuries have plagued the Browns on both sides of the ball. Despite the absence of Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward and safety Juan Thornhill against the Jaguars, Cleveland still managed three interceptions.
“There’s no quitting in us, and there never will be,” Garrett declared. “Not a single man will falter or waiver in the face of adversity, whether personally or as a team.” We’ll all point in the same direction and keep our eyes on the prize.”
“Other than one play, he was fantastic, and we can expect that no one’s going to be perfect and he’s just picking up things as he goes,” Garrett said of him. “But the man was astute. He made the necessary plays for them. He got a first down by picking up those old legs. The guy is doing everything and giving his all for this team, and he has earned the respect of the other guys as well.”
The Browns will play the Chicago Bears next week in an attempt to improve to 9-5.
