BREAKING: Myles Garrett has officially shattered the NFL single-season sack record, cementing his status as one of football’s elite defenders. This achievement comes as the Cleveland Browns prepare for their season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals, marking a historic moment for Garrett and the team.
Entering Week 18, Garrett’s performance has been nothing short of extraordinary. With a staggering total of more sacks than the San Francisco 49ers—who finished the regular season with just 20 team sacks—Garrett has demonstrated unparalleled prowess on the field.
Garrett’s current pass-rushing grade stands at an impressive 92.9, tying him for first among all defensive ends, according to Pro Football Focus. This marks his fourth time in five seasons leading all edge rushers in pass-rush grading, showcasing his consistency and dominance in the league.

Garrett’s versatility adds to his legend; he frequently lines up on both sides of the line and even plays inside, contributing to his remarkable sack totals. Notably, four of his sacks this season have come while lined up as a left edge rusher, showcasing his adaptability.
“Garrett continues to raise the bar,” observed a sports analyst. “His achievements this season place him among the all-time greats.”
This historic season not only highlights Garrett’s skill but also elevates the Cleveland Browns amid a challenging year. Fans are rallying behind Garrett, recognizing his efforts as a beacon of hope for the franchise.
