"With his sack of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow in the fourth quarter of Sunday's season finale, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett recorded his 23rd sack of the season, breaking the NFL's single-season sack record. The takedown pushed Garrett past the previous record of 22.5 sacks that was set by Pro Hall of Famer Michael Strahan in 2001 and matched by Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt in 2021."
"For much of the afternoon, Garrett neared bringing down Burrow and as time ticked down in the final game of the regular season. Garrett, earlier in the drive, lined up at defensive tackle and then blitzed as an off-ball linebacker. Finally, with 5:17 left, Garrett was able to duck past left tackle Orlando Brown and corral Joe Burrow."
"As the crowd at Paycor Stadium -- about 250 miles from Cleveland -- erupted, Garrett raised his arms in relief, before putting his hands together and bowing while his teammates swarmed him. Garrett's sack of Burrow Sunday marked the 12th time he's sacked Burrow in his career, breaking a tie with the Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson for the most times Garrett has sacked a quarterback. Garrett also sacked Burrow last season to record his 100th career sack in Week 16 of the 2024 season."
Myles Garrett recorded his 23rd sack in the fourth quarter of the Cleveland Browns' season finale, breaking the NFL single-season sack record. The takedown pushed Garrett past the previous 22.5-sack record set by Michael Strahan in 2001 and matched by T.J. Watt in 2021. Garrett pressured Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow repeatedly, finally ducking past left tackle Orlando Brown with 5:17 remaining to make the play. The sack was the 12th time Garrett has sacked Burrow, and it broke a tie with Lamar Jackson for the most times Garrett has sacked a quarterback. Garrett had registered at least a half-sack in nine straight games entering the finale.
