BEREA, Ohio --  Browns defensive end Myles Garrett flagged NFL officials, saying he's tired of bad calls going against Cleveland.

Garrett spoke out on Friday and said he doesn't care if he gets fined by the league for his comments because "something needs to be said."

He was particularly upset about a non-call last week against the Los Angeles Chargers, whose left tackle Russell Okung clearly moved before the snap to block Garrett. The play was allowed to continue and Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers threw a touchdown pass.

Garrett argued that not only should Okung have been penalized, but if Garrett had continued rushing he may have sacked Rivers or forced a fumble.

He also pointed to a fumble that was whistled dead on Oct. 30 at Oakland. The Browns stripped Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, recovered the ball and were running for a TD. But officials ruled Carr was in the grasp.

NFL senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron later acknowledged the call was wrong.
