The Monday night game hasn’t been the one to remember for the Cleveland Browns. The team suffered a 26-22 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers. On top of it, Browns’ star running back Nick Chubb sustained a grave injury and was carted off the field. However, the team’s loyal fan, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, cheered for the Cleveland team from his house. Moreover, he shared a special message for the 6 ‘4 defense giant Myles Garrett via his social media.

The Browns started off their season’s campaign on a high, dominating the Cincinnati Bengals with a 24-3 victory. In fact, it marked the return of new NFL season on the opening day. The famous ‘Battle of Ohio’ ended in as a one-sided game despite Bengals’ Joe Burrow & Co having offensive front. The powerful defense of Browns crippled the Cincinnati team’s chance at the game.
