Myles Garrett Closes In on Sack Record as Browns Host Bills

Buffalo, chasing AFC positioning, says it has a plan to limit the pass rusher, with Josh Allen insisting he won’t be part of a highlight tape.

Overview

  • Myles Garrett enters Sunday with 21.5 sacks and needs 1.5 to surpass the single-season record shared by Michael Strahan and T. J. Watt.
  • Garrett said setting the mark against Josh Allen would be meaningful and emphasized he wants the milestone to come in a Browns win at home.
  • Allen praised Garrett’s all-around game and said he doesn’t want to be on “other people’s highlight tapes”; he has been sacked 33 times this season.
  • Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins said the team has a scheme to slow Garrett, and right tackle Spencer Brown acknowledged the challenge while stressing the focus on winning.
  • Analysts expect Buffalo to lean on quick throws, chips and the NFL’s No. 2 rushing attack, as Garrett’s surge includes eight straight games with a sack and two earlier outbursts that produced nine combined sacks.
