19 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Myles Garrett needs one sack to tie the single-season record of 22.5.
- Former teammate Joe Thomas calls Garrett the best pass rusher he's seen.
- Garrett's historic season is occurring on a Browns team with a 3-11 record.
Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is rapidly approaching a historic milestone, standing just one sack away from tying the single-season record of 22.5 sacks. This remarkable achievement is particularly noteworthy given the Browns' current 3-11 record.
Garrett's former teammate, Joe Thomas, a Browns legend himself, has emphatically declared Garrett the "best defensive pass rusher" he has ever witnessed, drawing comparisons to NFL icons like Reggie White. Thomas highlighted that Garrett's sack production on a losing team underscores the individual brilliance of his performance this season.
The star pass rusher initially sought a trade in the offseason but was swayed by a substantial contract extension. Now, he has the opportunity to break the record this upcoming Sunday at home against the Buffalo Bills, solidifying his place in NFL history.
