Cleveland Browns edge rusher Jared Verse publicly criticized his own teammates after a physical moment during a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers left him thrown to the ground, according to Yahoo Sports and Sporting News.

Verse was unhappy that no one on the Browns sideline or on the field stepped up to defend him in the moments after the hard hit from a Steelers offensive lineman. Both outlets report that Verse voiced his frustration directly, calling out the lack of response from teammates who he felt should have backed him up.

The comments have put a spotlight on locker room dynamics for the Browns as the team continues its season, with Verse making clear he expected more support in a tense in-game situation.
