**Cleveland Browns’ Myles Garrett Eyes NFL Sack Record Against Steelers**
Cleveland Browns defensive star Myles Garrett is on the brink of making NFL history, just half a sack away from tying the single-season record held by Hall of Famer Michael Strahan and Pittsburgh Steelers standout T.J. Watt. The 29-year-old Garrett expressed that it would be particularly meaningful to achieve this milestone by sacking Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, a player he regards as legendary. “It’d be special. He’s legendary himself. And it’s a legendary record I’m out here chasing. So that’d be a great one to put a picture on the wall with,” Garrett stated during a press conference.
Garrett acknowledged the challenge of facing Rodgers, who is known for his quick release. He emphasized the importance of disrupting Rodgers’ rhythm by eliminating easy passing options. “Gotta take away those easy access throws, make him look at his second read, and he’s gotta keep rushing. There’ll be opportunities if we continue to get stops during the game, and he can’t continue to lean on those quick passes when you gotta score points,” Garrett explained.
The Browns, currently holding a 3-12 record, will host the Steelers on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. A victory for the Steelers would secure them the AFC North title and a playoff berth. Garrett hopes to play the role of spoiler, aiming to set the record in a winning effort. “Yeah, I just play. I want to get it, and you know, like I said, I want to win while doing it. And I think we have the guys who are locked in who want to do that as well,” he remarked.
Despite the looming record, Garrett insists he feels no pressure. “Pressure? Nah, no pressure. Like I said, it’s going down. So, I’m not stressed or worried about if I’m going to get it. Just a matter of when,” he stated confidently. Since being selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Garrett has solidified his status as one of the NFL’s elite pass rushers, boasting an impressive total of 124.5 sacks in 132 career games.
