Myles Garrett’s plea for improved officiating wasn’t answered on Sunday during the Cleveland Browns‘ win against the Chicago Bears but he didn’t want to talk about it.
Garrett’s silence stems from the threat of being hit with another fine from the NFL for talking about officiating. The Browns’ Pro Bowl pass-rusher was hit with a $25,000 fine this week for his comments after Cleveland’s Week 14 win.
“The officiating was a travesty today. It was honestly awful,” Garrett said on December 10. “I got a lot of respect for those guys, but we get scrutinized for the plays that we don’t make. So someone has to hold them accountable for the plays or the calls they don’t make.”
Garrett referred all questions about the officiating against the Bears to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
“Ask Roger,” Garrett said on Sunday when a reporter prompted him with a question about the lack of calls.
