Garrett remarked after Cleveland\u2019s win that it appeared Pittsburgh was <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/myles-garrett-steelers-were-more-concerned-about-me-getting-sack-record-than-winning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">more concerned about not letting him get the sack record<\/a> than winning.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about his approach to facing Garrett in Week 18, Burrow noted there are situations where taking a sack might be his best option.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I\u2019m certainly not going to <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XTPx7DVPlzY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">overcompensate either way<\/a>,\u201d Burrow said in his press conference. \u201cI\u2019m not going to go out of my way to not let him get the record. And I\u2019m not going to go out of my way to let him get the record either. I\u2019m going to go and play football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s going to be situations that a sack is the best of the bad outcomes of that play, and maybe I take one. And there\u2019s going to be other situations that I\u2019m about to get sacked and I need to throw it away in that situation. Such a situational game that I don\u2019t think you can go in thinking one way or the other. Every play is so different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Being divisional opponents, Burrow has a better idea than many other QBs what makes Garrett so effective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s more athletic than everybody else on the field \u2014 bigger, stronger than everybody else,\u201d Burrow said. \u201cHe has a mindset that he\u2019s not too high or too low at any point, which is pretty unique for a defensive lineman. I think he\u2019s probably got a unique mindset as far as that position goes. But it\u2019s one that you can appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a guy that I\u2019ve kind of gotten to know over the years and I like him as a person. He takes his job very seriously and is a guy I have a lot of respect for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And if Garrett happens to bring Burrow down, he acknowledged that won\u2019t be out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s gotten me a lot,\u201d Burrow said with a chuckle. \u201cHe\u2019s gotten me a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has sacked Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow plenty of times in his career.
