Myles Garrett’s last chance to break the NFL’s single-season sacks record comes Sunday when the Cleveland Browns play the Cincinnati Bengals at 1 p.m. ET.
Garrett has 22 sacks on the season and stands just a half-sack short of the record of 22.5 currently shared by Michael Strahan (2001) and T.J. Watt (2021) of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who kept Garrett without a sack in last week’s 13-6 Browns win.
Garrett said he believed the Steelers were more concerned with keeping him from sacking quarterback Aaron Rodgers than they were with winning the game, which the Browns mostly dominated. Garrett has never sacked Rodgers, but on Sunday, he faces Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, whom Garrett has sacked 11 times.
“My confidence hasn’t wavered,” Garrett said Friday. “I’m fully confident it will come (Sunday).”
