Even in a win, the Cleveland Browns came out as losers.
An ugly scene broke out at the end of the last night's Thursday Night Football game. After sacking Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph, Browns' defensive end Myles Garrett ripped off Rudolph's helmet and swung at his head. An all-out fight ensued after as Garrett, Larry Ogunjobi, and Maurkice Pouncey were all ejected.

— NFL Update (@MySportsUpdate) November 15, 2019The question becomes: How long will Garrett be suspended for? Debate ensued on social media last night, with many people suggesting Garrett could be suspended for the remainder of the season. At the very least, it Garrett will likely be suspended for two games since the Steelers and Browns play each other in Week 13. But ESPN's Brooke Pryor reported that Rudolph's team could potentially seek legal action.

— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) November 15, 2019If Garrett were to be suspended for the remainder of the 2019 season, it would be a huge blow to the Browns. He's their best defensive player and Cleveland has won two straight games as they look to make a second half push for the playoffs.
If this happens, Garrett would miss a Week 16 matchup against the Ravens. Baltimore currently sits a 7-2 with a 2.5 game lead over the Steelers. Not having to face a talent like Garrett would be good news for any team, especially the Ravens, who fell to the Browns 40-25 in Week 4.
How long do you think Garrett should be suspended for? Should it be just a few games or the rest of the season, maybe even more?
UPDATE: Garrett has been suspended indefinitely, Pouncey for three games and Ogunjobi for 1 game.
