While the Cleveland Browns are just 3-12 on the season, Myles Garrett is on the precipice of history.
The star pass rusher is currently producing one of the best seasons in NFL history, as he is on pace to break Michael Strahan’s record for most sacks in a single season. Garrett has steadily chipped away at the deficit over the past few weeks, putting him on the brink of the record books.
However, the Pittsburgh Steelers knew that, and clearly prepared for Garrett’s efforts on Sunday. The Steelers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers were so concerned about Garrett that it impacted their offense, as Cleveland beat Pittsburgh 13-6 in Week 17.
This marks the first time Garrett didn’t record a sack in a game since Oct. 12, which also happened to be against the Steelers. He then went nine-straight games with at least 0.5 sacks, but the record was elusive this week.
Garrett now has one more chance to break the record, as Cleveland will play the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18 to close out the regular season.
The Sporting News tracked Myles Garrett’s stats as the Browns play the Steelers on Sunday afternoon in pursuit of the single-season sacks record. Here’s what happened.
