Myles Garrett: Steelers Focused More on Stopping Me than Winning
Myles Garrett recorded just two pressures as Steelers focused on blocking him, leaving him one sack shy of the single-season record heading into Week 18.
- On Sunday, Myles Garrett said opponents prioritized keeping him away from Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers rather than securing a win after the Browns' 13-6 upset in Cleveland.
- Scheming against Myles Garrett involved regular running back or tight end chips and double-teams, reducing his pass-rush impact to two pressures on 43 pass-rush snaps, a 4.7% pressure rate.
- Several Browns defenders stepped up, producing sacks and tackles for loss as Alex Wright and Grant Delpit both sacked Aaron Rodgers, who went 21/39 for 168 yards and was sacked twice.
- The loss sets up a winner-take-all Week 18 for the AFC North where the Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Baltimore Ravens, with the winner claiming the division and playoff spot and the loser eliminated.
- Garrett remains at 22 sacks, one shy of the 22.5 single-season record held by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt, with his final chance in Week 18 at Cincinnati Bengals.
