Myles Garrett resumes his quest to break the NFL’s single-season sacks record Sunday when the Cleveland Browns host the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Garrett has 22 sacks on the season and stands a half-sack short of the record shared by Michael Strahan and the Steelers’ T.J. Watt, who won’t play Sunday due to injury.

With a half-sack last week versus Buffalo, Garrett became just the sixth player to reach 22 in a season. On Sunday, Garrett will try to break the record while recording his first career sack against a player with whom he’ll almost certainly one day share space in the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

“(Rodgers) is legendary himself, and it’s a legendary record I’m here chasing,” Garrett said. “That’d be a great one to put a picture on the wall with.”

Garrett has not sacked Rodgers in two previous games, one earlier this season and one in 2021 when Rodgers was with Green Bay. But Garrett has recorded at least a half-sack in every game after the first Cleveland-Pittsburgh meeting, in Week 6. Sunday brings Garrett a chance to break the single-season record in his home stadium.

Earlier this season, Garrett passed Lawrence Taylor to become the first player with at least 12 sacks in six consecutive seasons. With 124 1/2 sacks in 132 games, Garrett holds the NFL record for most sacks recorded before a player’s 30th birthday. Reggie White was the record-holder at 108. Only White (137) had more sacks in his first nine seasons.

“That is something that I had in my mind coming into the league, being talked about among those greats,” Garrett said. “So, I just want to continue to just put myself into that conversation.”

Garrett, who turns 30 on Monday, has totaled five sacks in the Steelers’ last two visits to Cleveland, both Browns victories.

“We understand the gravity of what we’re going into and how they engineer victory and who’s significant in doing so,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said last week. “(Garrett) is at the doorstep of history, and so we certainly have respect for that.”

Garrett is a four-time first-team All-Pro and was the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, but he’s never won a sack title. With two games remaining, he’s seven sacks clear of the nearest pursuer, the New York Giants’ Brian Burns (15). Garrett broke his previous career high and franchise single-season record of 16 (2021 and 2022) in November.
