Cleveland Browns superstar Myles Garrett is on the verge of NFL history as he is just half a sack away from tying the single-season sack record set by Hall of Famer Michael Strahan and Pittsburgh Steelers star TJ Watt.
Garrett, 29, said it would be “special” to break the record by sacking Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
“It would be special. He’s legendary himself. And it’s a legendary record I’m out here chasing. So it would be great to put a picture on the wall with,” Garrett said at a news conference Friday.

Rodgers is quick to get the ball out, and Garrett said taking away his easy reads is important.
“You’ve got to take away the easy pass throws, make him look at his second read and he’s got to keep rushing. There’s going to be (opportunities) if we continue to get stops during the game and he can’t continue to lean on those quick passes when you need to score points,” Garrett said.
The Browns, who are 3-12, play the Steelers at home on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The Steelers would clinch the AFC North and a playoff berth with a win over the Browns.

Garrett hopes the Browns play spoiler so if he sets the record on Sunday, he would do so with a win.
“Yeah, I’m just playing. I want it, and you know like I said, I want to win while I’m doing it. And I think we’ve got the guys locked in that want to do that, too,” Garrett said.
The seven-time Pro Bowler said there is no pressure that comes with the record looming.

“Pressure? Nah, no pressure. Like I said, it’s going down. So I’m not stressed or worried if I’m going to get it. Just a matter of when,” Garrett said.
Garrett has established himself as one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers since being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. The four-time All-Pro has an astounding 124.5 sacks in 132 career games.
