A sports reporter with a similar name to Myles Garrett became the target of Twitter users following the Thursday Night Football brawl between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Miles Garrett of Indiana's WSBT-TV tweeted several screenshots Friday of the messages he received from people mistaking him for the Browns defensive end, who was suspended indefinitely after hitting Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph with the latter's helmet.
I’d like to formally apologize to @Rudolph2Mason for my actions last night. Inexcusable. And I’m glad I’ve been called out for it. pic.twitter.com/IxutQ38F7O

At least Miles Garrett seemed to be taking the case of mistaken identity in stride.
Thanks a lot @MylesLGarrett pic.twitter.com/sYuwxyio2v
