Myles Garrett, the Browns' defensive end, is on the cusp of breaking the single-season sack record. He's aiming to achieve this feat by sacking Aaron Rodgers, the Steelers' quarterback, in a potential showdown. Garrett expressed his ambition, stating, 'It's a legendary record I'm chasing, and I'd love to put a picture on the wall with it.'
Garrett currently holds 22 sacks, tied with Hall of Famer Michael Strahan and Rodgers' teammate, T.J. Watt. However, there's a twist: Rodgers might not play. If the Ravens lose to the Packers on Saturday, the Steelers could clinch the AFC North title early, potentially resting Rodgers. This scenario could give Garrett a golden opportunity to sack an old rival, Mason Rudolph, or rookie Will Howard, who could be the team's future quarterback.
The challenge lies in the fact that Rodgers might not be the one to break the record. Garrett's pursuit of the record is reminiscent of Brett Favre's assist to Michael Strahan 24 years ago. Will Garrett get the same favor from Rodgers? Only time will tell, and the NFL community eagerly awaits this potential historic moment.
