It took a few weeks longer than he wanted it to, but Myles Garrett’s storybook 2025 season can now officially be immortalized in NFL lore.
The league’s official single-season sack record had stood for 23 years, and was shared by a pair of all-time greats in Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt. It now belongs to Garrett, and Garrett alone — with the new benchmark set at 23 (and counting).
Garrett claimed his record-breaking 23rd sack of the season Sunday when he dropped longtime AFC North rival Joe Burrow for a 6-yard loss with 5:11 remaining in the fourth quarter.
