Myles Garrett addresses sack record amid Bills defeat
Myles Garrett’s pursuit of the NFL’s single-season sack record faced another hurdle following a narrow 23-20 defeat against the Buffalo Bills. Despite the loss, Garrett managed to secure a half sack in a game where the Bills went to great lengths to keep him in check.
A Confusing Play
The circumstances surrounding Garrett’s half sack were anything but straightforward. On the play in question, Bills quarterback Josh Allen stumbled backward, surrounded by three Browns defenders. Initially, rookie defensive tackle Mason Graham received credit for the sack after lightly tapping Allen to the ground. However, as the game unfolded, the official scoring was adjusted. Both Garrett and teammate Alex Wright, who inadvertently forced Allen’s slip, were awarded half a sack each.
Garrett’s reaction to the scoring confusion mirrored the sentiments of many fans watching the game. When asked about his feelings regarding the half sack, he expressed a mix of emotions. “A little bit … but for me, I always keep the main thing the main thing. I want to win,” he stated, emphasizing his focus on team success over personal milestones.
Looking Ahead
Despite the challenges he faced against the Bills, Garrett’s determination remains unshaken. He continues to prioritize winning games, even as he chases individual accolades. The road to the sack record is still open, and Garrett’s commitment to his team and the game remains clear. As the season progresses, all eyes will remain on the Browns’ star defensive end as he seeks to etch his name in the history books while striving for team victories.
