Myles Garrett’s 5-Sack Game Ends in Browns Loss and a Week 8 Award Snub

The NFL chose Jordyn Brooks for AFC Defensive Player of the Week over Myles Garrett’s five-sack outing.

Overview

  • Myles Garrett recorded five sacks in a 32-13 defeat to the Patriots, joining a small group of players to reach at least five in a single game.
  • His performance moved him to 10 sacks on the season and 112.5 for his career, with reports noting he surpassed Reggie White’s under-30 sack mark.
  • The AFC Defensive Player of the Week went to Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks, who logged 10 tackles, three tackles for loss, and one sack in a 34-10 win over the Falcons.
  • A viral sideline clip showed Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams reacting in disbelief to Garrett’s dominance, and Garrett later voiced frustration about being off the field late.
  • Former Patriot Rob Ninkovich said he direct messaged Garrett urging a move to New England, though local reporting says there is “zero chance” the Browns trade him, and Cleveland now heads into a Week 9 bye before visiting the Jets on Nov. 9.
