Cleveland Browns news: Myles Garrett praises Kevin Stefanski, Joe Flacco after win

It's hard to figure out why so many Cleveland Browns fans seem to dislike Kevin Stefanski. Is he perfect as a coach? No, but then again, no one is. But does he have a winning record? Yes, he does and to make that fact more impressive is that he has the team at 8-5 despite being on starting quarterback No. 4.

Cleveland has dealt with more injuries to key starters than any other team and yet Stefanski has them winning. That's why Myles Garrett wasted no time in praising the coach when asked about him. Garrett also had some praise for Joe Flacco, calling him elite. Garrett's press conference — and many other stories — are covered in today's news round-up.

Clearly, his teammates were excited about his performance. Flacco’s 311 passing yards were the most by a Browns quarterback this season. , who started six games, had a season-high of 289 yards and rookie started three games with a high of 165 passing yards.  

For years, there was a debate around Joe Flacco and whether or not he was an elite quarterback. In 11 years with the Ravens, he won continually and even got a Super Bowl ring. Still, he was questioned and Garrett wasted no time having some fun with the topic when asked.
