The Ravens vs. Browns game just got a bit more interesting.

Cleveland Browns' defensive end Myles Garrett has added some fuel to the fire ahead of their Week 10 game against AFC North rivals Baltimore Ravens.

Garrett, one of the league's very best defensive players, has gone on record saying that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is better than Ravens' Lamar Jackson.

Both Burrow and Jackson are considered among the top tier of quarterbacks in the NFL, and twice a year have the daunting task of avoiding Garrett.

But the Browns star says "few people in the league" can do what Burrow is capable of, and looks forward to coming up against Jackson this weekend.

Speaking to the Up&Adams Show, Garrett said: "I think Joe [Burrow] is coming on strong, he's one of those guys when he's healthy he can light you up every single night.

"Lamar does it in such a different way, even if his throwing is not on point that night he can still rush for 150 yards and three touchdowns, he can beat you in a couple different ways.

"But Joe can light you up for 400 yards and few people can do that in the league other than Joe."

When it is pointed out that Garrett has four career sacks on Jackson, the Browns star replied: "Only four?

"I'm taking down Lamar, and I'll take Joe right now in terms of who has the nod over the other."

Jackson will hope to do the talking on the field when his 7-2 Ravens host the 5-3 Browns at M&T Bank Stadium this Sunday.
