“I made a mistake, I lost my cool and I regret it,” Garrett told reporters. “It’s gonna come back to hurt our team.

“The guys who jumped in to the scrum… I appreciate my team having my back but it should never get to that, it’s on me.”

When asked if the incident overshadowed Cleveland’s win, Garrett said: “A win is a win. I don’t think it’s overshadowed by what happens in eight seconds.”

Pittsburgh’s Rudolph was less than impressed by Garrett’s behaviour after the defeat.

“Not in my years. I thought it was cowardly and pretty bush league,” Rudolph said. “I’m fine and good to go.”

Pressed on whether Garrett should be banned, Rudolph replied: “I don’t know what the rules are. I know it’s bush league and he is a total coward… It’s OK, I’ll take it. I’m not going to back down from no bully. We will see what happens.”
