Browns News: Freddie Kitchens Wears “Pittsburgh Started it” Shirt

The Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers will face off on Sunday in a rematch of their infamous Nov. 14 matchup. The Browns dominated and came away with a 21-7 win, but that was lost in the chaos that ensued in the game’s final seconds.

Pushing and shoving between Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett and Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph escalated to the point that Garrett clubbed Rudolph in the head with his own helmet, resulting in him being suspended indefinitely. Other players receiving suspensions included Browns defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi and Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey.

In total, over $732,422 in fines was handed out to 33 players, including both organizations.

While the fight itself was an ugly mess, it did add to the historic rivalry between both teams and cities. Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens has seemed to embrace that rivalry, as he was spotted on social media wearing a t-shirt that said “Pittsburgh started it.”

Kitchens later cleared up that the shirt was given to him by his daughters as a joke and that he didn’t mean for anyone to see it, but added that he “understands it’s not a good look.”

In the week leading up to Sunday’s game, Kitchens told reporters that he wanted all of his players to avoid all of the “fluff” surrounding it.
