Myles Garrett on Pace to Shatter NFL Sack Record
BEREA, Ohio – Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is on track to potentially break the NFL single-season sack record, a feat he’s been pursuing since being drafted in 2017. With 15 sacks through ten games, including a blistering 10 sacks in the past three, Garrett is averaging 1.5 sacks per game. At this rate, he would finish the season with 25.5 sacks, surpassing Michael Strahan’s (2001) and T.J. Watt’s (2021) record of 22.5.
“The level at which he’s playing is impressive,” said Head Coach Kevin Stefanski, while also noting Garrett’s impact extends beyond sacks, including his run-stopping ability. Defensive Coordinator Jim Schwartz echoed this sentiment, praising Garrett’s work ethic and ability to make plays within the defensive scheme, despite constant double-teams.
Teammates also lauded Garrett’s performance, with cornerback Denzel Ward calling this Garrett’s “most dominant career season,” stating “It’s crazy he’s putting up Madden numbers.”
Garrett, who sat out Friday’s practice due to illness but is expected to play Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, will have a favorable matchup against a team missing two starting offensive linemen and a quarterback in Geno Smith who is averaging over three sacks per game. The Browns defense and the city of Cleveland will be watching eagerly to see if Garrett continues his historic pace.
