Myles Garrett isn’t just having a season—he’s having a historic one. With 19 sacks leading the NFL through Week 14 of the 2025 campaign, the Cleveland Browns superstar is mounting one of the most ferocious pass-rushing performances in modern NFL history. And this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, he has a legitimate shot at breaking one of football’s most coveted records.
Myles Garrett’s Historic Sack Chase: Record Within Reach This Sunday
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Garrett enters Week 15 just four sacks shy of the single-season NFL record (22.5), shared by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt. To break it outright, he’ll need 23—and the opportunity could not be more favorable.
The 1–11 Titans have been the NFL’s worst pass-protecting team in 2025, allowing a league-high 48 sacks—an average of four per game. If ever there was a perfect scenario for a record-breaking afternoon, it’s this one.
Monster Games Prove It’s Possible
Garrett has already shown he can stack sacks in bunches. This season alone:
-
Three sacks vs. Raiders (W)
-
Four sacks vs. Ravens (L)
-
Five sacks vs. Jets (L)
That five-sack performance against New York reminded everyone that even when the Browns falter, Garrett remains unstoppable. If he can post five in one game, four against the league’s worst offensive line is absolutely within reach.
A Rookie in the Crosshairs
No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward will be under center for Tennessee, trying to navigate a brutal rookie year behind a turnstile of an offensive line. And waiting for him? A future Hall of Famer, a likely 2025 Defensive Player of the Year, and the league’s most feared edge rusher.
The Browns should dominate this matchup—and Garrett should feast.
Perfect Timing Before a Tough Stretch
After Tennessee, Cleveland faces a treacherous final four: the Bears, Bills, Steelers, and Bengals. All feature steadier offensive lines and coaching staffs capable of scheming against elite pass rushers.
Sunday’s matchup is easily Garrett’s best chance to etch his name into NFL history.
Garrett’s Career Arc Is Already Legendary
At 29 years old (he turns 30 on Dec. 29), Garrett recently broke Reggie White’s record for most sacks before age 30. His 121.5 career sacks already place him tied for 23rd all-time.
Bruce Smith’s unreachable-looking 200 sacks sit far away—but if anyone in the modern era can make a run at it, it’s Garrett.
More Than Just a Pass Rusher
Garrett’s 2025 stat line shows domination across the board:
-
Three forced fumbles (Top Five NFL)
-
35 solo tackles
-
28 tackles for loss (elite)
-
Constant double-teams
-
Constant disruption
-
Constant fear for opposing coordinators
Garrett’s game is built on freakish athleticism, but elevated by discipline, film study, and a relentless pursuit of perfection. As his Twitter bio reads:
“A hero is made by the path he chooses, not by the power he is graced with.”
That’s Myles Garrett.
A Date With Destiny
Will Myles Garrett break the single-season sack record this Sunday? The stars couldn’t align any better:
-
The opponent is vulnerable.
-
The stage is set.
-
The player is peaking.
-
The record is within four sacks.
Football fans everywhere should tune in—because one of the most dominant defensive players of his generation is on the brink of immortality.
The chase is on.
Greatness may be just four sacks away.
