Browns DE Myles Garrett has made history.
In Week 16 against the Bengals, Garrett sacked QB Joe Burrow late in the second quarter. Garrett broke around G Cody Ford bring down Burrow, his first sack of the day and his 100.5 career sack in 115 career games.
Garrett has now surpassed 100 career sacks, becoming the 45th player to do so in NFL history since 1982. Garrett also is the first player since 1982 to have 100 career sacks prior to his 29th birthday. Garrett turns 29 on Dec. 29.
Garret joins an elite list of players to record 100 sacks in his first eight seasons. That list includes Reggie White (124), DeMarcus Ware (111), Jared Allen (105) and TJ Watt (104 after Week 12 – 109th career game).
In his career, Garrett had 12 sacks in 11 career games against the Bengals heading into Week 16.
"His production is so high, even though he's a marked man, even though every game plan starts with, 'Don't let 95 wreck the game,' and he still finds a way to wreck games," defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said of Garrett on Nov. 29. "Even if it's not sacks, it can be batted passes, it can be run game. I think that he's just done a good job of just being consistent and battling through some of the stuff that people do to him. A lot of chips and running away from him can cut a lot of productivity."
