The Cleveland Browns played the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, desperately needing a win to get back on track.
After getting off to a promising 2-1 start, they had lost four games in a row, filling Cleveland fans with those all-too-familiar feelings of disappointment and frustration.
But they got a brief respite when superstar defensive end Myles Garrett revealed his interesting Halloween costume.
He went as Vecna, a supernatural being from the fourth season of the popular Netflix series “Stranger Things” that kills residents in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.

Garrett, guard Wyatt Teller, and former teammate Johnny Stanton also formed a Dungeons & Dragons group called “The Heathens” that is related to “Stranger Things.”
Generally speaking, NFL fans loved Garrett’s outfit and choice of character.
Luckily dressing up for Halloween didn’t affect Myles Garrett’s performance. #Browns

This fan, however, mistook Garrett showing his Halloween spirit for not being dedicated to his craft.
Myles Garrett plays on a 2-5 football team and says he’s gonna wear a costume to the game. I wish he was a serious football player smh

Garrett Seems To Have The Best Costumes
Garrett has a history of being festive for the holiday, as last year he dressed up as the Grim Reaper with a list of all the quarterbacks he had sacked on the back of his costume.

It went well with his home Halloween decor, which was designed to look like a graveyard with headstones of QBs from opposing teams.

Garrett’s Vecna costume for this year obviously brought the Browns some good vibes, as they jumped out to a 25-0 lead and never looked back to the tune of a 32-13 win.
The pass rusher had a solid performance with 1.5 sacks and four hits on Cincinnati QB Joe Burrow, who got sacked five times and threw one interception.
