Steelers OG Goes Viral for Body-Slamming Trash-Talking Browns DE Jared Verse
A Steelers offensive guard body slammed Browns edge rusher Jared Verse in their Week 8 matchup after Verse's previous trash talk.
Pittsburgh Steelers guard Mason McCormick clarified his actions during a recent play against Cleveland Browns defensive end Jared Verse. During the Steelers' 27-6 victory, McCormick claimed he did not know he was blocking Verse when he sent him crashing headfirst to the ground. The incident occurred during a kick attempt, with McCormick stating he only felt someone jump and was instructed to stop the jumpers hands.
However, Verse accused McCormick of playing dirty and criticized his playing style after the match. Despite the tension between the two linemen, the Steelers sacked Deshaun Watson eight times and held Cleveland to 34 rushing yards, securing a 5-3 record against the AFC North leader.
