Overview
- A third-and-goal takedown of Lamar Jackson counted as Garrett’s 12th of the year, confirming the first six-season streak of 12 or more sacks in NFL history.
- He finished with four sacks in the game, giving him 15 through 10 contests to lead the league.
- The outburst also made Garrett the first player with five consecutive seasons of at least 13 sacks.
- He surpassed Lawrence Taylor’s prior benchmark for consecutive 12-sack seasons, with context noting sacks have been an official stat since 1982.
- Cleveland lost 23-16 to Baltimore to fall to 2-8, as Garrett’s surge fuels a leading DPOY candidacy and keeps him in range of the 22.5 single-season sack record.
