Myles Garrett appeared to be struck by the boos that rained down onto Huntington Bank Field. He spent time with fans in their coveted Muni parking lot before the game.
He told reporters the fans who pack the stadium are right to express their frustrations with the team in that manner.
"They have the right to tell us however they feel. I mean, if we’re not playing well, they have the right to boo. If we’re kicking a--, they have the right to cheer," he explained. "It’s their privilege. They come in, they pay to see us do well, and we didn’t, and we got to put on better performance if we expect them to go out there and support us in full force.
