Patriots’ OTs have toughest test of season: stopping Myles Garrett

There’s an elemental force of nature on its way east to Gillette Stadium this Sunday afternoon, and its name is Myles Garrett.

The No. 1 overall pick out of Texas A&M two years ago, Garrett is far and away the best player on this young Cleveland Browns defense. He’s tied for the league lead in sacks with 9.0 already this year – and that’s in just six games of action, too, as the Browns are coming off their bye this week. In other words, Garrett – a Pro Bowler last season – is averaging 1.5 sacks per game so far.
