Verse said the headfirst takedown could have ended his season and that teammates’ lack of response deepened his frustration.
- On Thursday in Berea, Cleveland Browns defensive end Jared Verse expressed frustration that teammates failed to defend him after Pittsburgh Steelers guard Mason McCormick slammed him to the ground during an extra-point attempt on Sunday.
- Before the Week 8 matchup, Verse accused the Steelers of playing "too dirty" and vowed to "make Pittsburgh ours," fueling tensions that culminated in a 27-6 Steelers victory.

- The Browns seek better defensive chemistry as they shift focus to Sunday's upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints.
