Myles Garrett Nears NFL Single-Season Sack Record Amid Challenging Browns Season
Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns is close to breaking the NFL single-season sack record of 22.5 sacks, a mark currently held by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt. According to his former teammate Joe Thomas, a former Browns lineman, Garrett is the best defensive pass rusher he has ever seen. Garrett has been recognized as a first-team All-Pro in four of the last five seasons, highlighting his consistent elite performance.
Despite the Browns struggling through a 3-11 season, Garrett's individual achievements stand out prominently. He reportedly needs 1.5 sacks in the next three games to surpass the record, though some reports mention he needs just one more sack to tie it, indicating some inconsistency in the reporting. Garrett, who requested a trade during the offseason but ultimately signed a $160 million contract extension, has lived up to his new deal.
The upcoming home game against the Buffalo Bills represents Garrett's first potential opportunity to break the single-season sack record this year.
