Myles Garrett Achieves NFL History

In a remarkable culmination of a dominant campaign in 2025, Myles Garrett, the star pass rusher for the Cleveland Browns, made headlines by setting a new single-season sack record. On Sunday, Garrett sacked Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow during the regular-season finale, marking his 23rd sack and surpassing the previous record of 22.5 held by legends Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt.

A Milestone Celebration

The moment was particularly emotional for Garrett, who shared the achievement with his teammates and coaches. Since being drafted in 2017, Garrett has established himself as one of the premier defensive players in the NFL, and the 2025 season clearly showcased his peak performance.

Record-Breaking Performances

Throughout the season, Garrett's prowess on the field has been undeniable. Notably, he recorded a career-high of five sacks in a Week 8 matchup against the New England Patriots, followed by another stellar performance of four sacks against the Baltimore Ravens two weeks later. His relentless pursuit of quarterbacks demonstrates his unwavering dedication to the game.

Focus and Motivation

In November, Garrett expressed his mindset on breaking records, stating, "I don't even think about it as a want — I just think about something that I'm going to knock down. It’s already been written in my mind that it’s going just how far I’m going to take it." His ambition and focus highlight his competitive spirit and drive as he looks to further etch his name in NFL history.

Looking Ahead

Although the Browns will not be playoff contenders this year, Garrett's outstanding performance throughout the season has positioned him as a favorite for the Defensive Player of the Year award. After signing a lucrative four-year, $160 million contract this offseason, he has certainly proven to be worth every penny. The 2025 season will go down as one of the best individual performances by a defensive player in NFL history, further solidifying Garrett's legacy.
