US EditionMyles Garrett Opens up on the Possibility of Taking Aaron Rodgers' NFL Sack Record
Myles Garrett is one half-sack away from tying the NFL single-season sack record with two games left, including a key matchup against the Steelers.
- Sunday, Myles Garrett, Cleveland Browns defensive end, can set the NFL single-season sack record against the Pittsburgh Steelers with one sack, surpassing the 22.5 mark held by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt.
- Garrett's midseason surge included 14 sacks over five games, but opposing NFL teams employing chips, double teams and bootlegs limited him to three in the past three games despite five sacks in Cleveland's last two victories.
- With Steelers' starter decisions hinging on Saturday's Ravens result, Aaron Rodgers might sit and Mason Rudolph could start, impacting who Garrett faces since he has never sacked Rodgers.
- If Garrett falls short Sunday, he has one final chance in the Browns' regular-season finale next week in Cincinnati, and he insists he isn't feeling pressure with two games left.
- Looking beyond this season, Myles Garrett views Bruce Smith's 200-sack record as attainable with 124.5 career sacks and believes he could reach it in about five years.
