Cleveland Welcomes Myles Garrett’s Record-Breaking Performance
In a thrilling game, the Cleveland Browns defensive end Myers Garrett shone brightly, racking up his 13th and 14th sacks of the 2024 NFL season. Garrett’s impressive performance has put him in the spotlight as he continues to break records and showcase his exceptional skills on the field.
Garrett’s journey this season is remarkable; his 13th sack made him the third player in NFL history to achieve this feat in five of their first eight seasons. Joining elite company, he is only behind Reggie White and T.J. Watt, who have also reached similar milestones in their careers. This achievement underscores Garrett’s consistency and dominance as a pass rusher.
As if that wasn’t enough, his 14th sack, which came from taking down quarterback Tyler Huntley, marked another milestone. With this sack, Garrett became the first player since 1982 to achieve 14 sacks in four consecutive seasons. “He’s the best pass rusher in the game,” said left guard Joel Bitonio after the game. “He’s a dynamic player that every opponent fears. I thought he had three sacks tonight; it’s impressive that he’s doing his thing. I hope we can support him in winning more games.”
Garrett’s record-breaking season didn’t stop there. Just a week prior, he surpassed 100 career sacks against the Bengals, joining a prestigious list of only 45 players in NFL history to do so since 1982. Notably, he is also the first player to hit the 100-sack mark before turning 29, an honor he celebrated on his birthday, December 29th.
The game continued to be intense, with injuries impacting the roster. Linebacker Jordan Hicks was ruled out due to a head injury, and running back Ford suffered an ankle injury late in the second quarter, leaving fans eager for updates.
As the Browns gear up for their upcoming matchup against the Dolphins in Week 17, excitement remains high among fans, especially with the electric performances from stars like Garrett and the contributions from players like wide receiver Jeudy, who has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards this season.
Overall, it was another impressive showing for the Cleveland Browns, highlighted by Myles Garrett’s record-setting achievements and a resilient team effort as they look forward to closing out the season strong.
