NFL Makes Myles Garrett Announcement Before Week 14

The Cleveland Browns are in the midst of another losing season. In Week 13, they lost to the San Francisco 49ers, 26-8, in Shedeur Sanders' second NFL start to fall to 3-9.

The Browns went 3-14 in 2024 after going 11-6 and making the playoffs the year before, so questions remain about the future of the franchise and head coach Kevin Stefanski.

While the quarterback position has been the focal point wth Joe Flacco, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel all getting starts this year, there is one constant on the roster: defensive end Myles Garrett.

Garrett has 35 solo tackles with 19 sacks, an NFL high, through the first 12 games of the year.

He has a sack in each of his last six games, including three games in that span with three or more sacks and a five-sack performance against the New England Patriots.

On Thursday, the NFL announced Garrett as the AFC Defensive Player of the Month for November. He had 18 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, nine sacks and two forced fumbles in four games.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane was the AFC Offensive Player of the Month, with New York Jets punter Austin McNamara earning AFC Special Teams Player of the Month honors.

Garrett is also in consideration for the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. He has 19 sacks already, and he is well on pace to break the single-season mark of 22.5 set by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt.

So, although the Browns are losing a lot of games, Garrett has been having a career season.

Garrett also won the AFC Defensive Player of the Month Award in October 2020.

The Browns face the Tennessee Titans (1-11) on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET with the game on Fox and the Fox Sports app.
