Overview
- Garrett enters the weekend with 22.0 sacks, needing one to surpass the 22.5 single-season mark shared by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt.
- He said it would be “special” to notch the record-breaking sack on Aaron Rodgers, though he has not sacked Rodgers in their two previous meetings.
- Garrett told reporters he is guaranteeing a sack on Sunday regardless of which Steelers quarterback starts.
- Rodgers is dealing with a fractured wrist on his non-throwing hand and could be a late scratch, which would elevate Mason Rudolph.
- Steelers coach Mike Tomlin acknowledged the “gravity” of Garrett’s pursuit and indicated protection plans to contain him, with Pittsburgh’s playoff clinching scenario potentially influencing personnel decisions.
