Overview
- Cleveland’s win kept Myles Garrett at 22.0 sacks, leaving him 0.5 shy of the 22.5 single-season mark shared by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt.
- The loss cost Pittsburgh a chance to clinch the AFC North and sets a winner‑take‑all Week 18 at home against the Ravens, with the loser eliminated.
- Garrett said the Steelers focused on preventing his sack, while Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers maintained their approach was routine and the record was irrelevant.
- Pittsburgh frequently chipped and double‑teamed Garrett as Rodgers relied on quick throws, logging a 2.39‑second average time to release and low air yards.
- Grant Delpit and Alex Wright collected the Steelers’ two sacks as Cleveland’s defense held Pittsburgh without a touchdown in the 13-6 outcome; Garrett gets a final shot at the record in Week 18 at Cincinnati.
