Myles Garrett knows the sack record he’s been chasing will be there in the end, but he admitted some recent frustration that it’s taken this long to get there.
The superstar Cleveland Browns edge defender went on an all-time heater over a four-game stretch from late October to mid-November. Garrett piled up 13 sacks over that span, including a career-high five against Drake Maye and the New England Patriots, and four against Lamar Jackson and the rival Baltimore Ravens.
For context, only four players have 13-plus sacks in this entire season entering Week 17.
Garrett was so dominant, it felt more probable than not that he would sack rookie Cam Ward of the then one-win Tennessee Titans four times and be done with the record back in Week 14.
