Shedeur Sanders’ win in his first NFL start was the main takeaway from the Cleveland Browns’ 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, but Myles Garrett’s leadership on defense was a big reason the AFC North team took home the win.
Garrett was responsible for three of the sacks on Raiders quarterback Geno Smith, putting himself in position to potentially break the single-season sack record. Garrett leads the NFL with 18 sacks on the year and is just five more away from topping the 22.5 mark set by New York Giants legend Michael Strahan and Pittsburgh Steelers star TJ Watt.

Eight Browns players had at least half a sack.
“That’s what I’m most excited about,” Garrett said. “It puts a smile on my face. The franchise record, I kind of expect that from myself. I keep setting the bar higher and higher.”
Cleveland has five games left in the season. Garrett has at least one sack in five consecutive games dating back to the Browns’ 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins last month.

“Chasing Mike, chasing greatness,” Garrett said. “God willing, I’ll take it. Hopefully, sooner than later. I want it to come with a win. I want a chance to play some games in January and February. We’ve got to win. Hopefully things go our way.
“That would be great, but we have much more pressing things to do.”
Cleveland is 3-8 this season and winning seven straight to close out this season would be impressive.
The Browns return home for a two-game homestand starting next week with the San Francisco 49ers in town in Week 13 and the Tennessee Titans coming to Ohio in Week 14.
