Browns' Myles Garrett claims another spot in NFL record book

By Steve DelVecchio | Last updated Nov 16, 2025 7:51 PM ET

Myles Garrett is having the best season of his career with the Cleveland Browns, and the star pass-rusher set a new record during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Garrett had 11 sacks on the year entering Week 11. The former first-round pick is on pace to have by far the best season of his career, and he looked unstoppable once again right out of the gate on Sunday.

Lamar Jackson is arguably the most mobile quarterback in the NFL, but Garrett had no problem getting to the Ravens star. Garrett's first sack of the day on Jackson came in the second quarter. It was his 12th sack of the season, and Garrett became the first player in NFL history to have 12 or more sacks in six consecutive seasons since sacks became an official stat in 1982.

Garrett passed New York Giants legend Lawrence Taylor, who had five such seasons.

Myles Garrett will continue to chase history

With four more sacks on Sunday, Garrett now has 15 sacks on the season through just 10 games. If he can remain healthy for the rest of the year, he will need to average just one sack per week to break the single-season record of 21.5 sacks that is held by both Michael Strahan (2001) and T.J Watt (2021).

If opposing teams can't find a way to slow Garrett down, he could claim the single-season sack record a lot sooner than Week 18. Of Garrett's 15 sacks, 10 have come in Cleveland's last three games. He had five sacks in the Browns' 32-12 loss to the New England Patriots on Oct. 26.

There is a reason only two players since 1982 have managed to get to 22.5 sacks. It would not exactly be shocking if Garrett experienced a drought down the stretch and came up short, especially as more teams start using double- and triple-teams to slow him down. But if Garrett can get to a speedy quarterback like Jackson and drag him down four times in one game, Cleveland's future opponents had better adjust their game plans accordingly.
