The 29-year-old (turning 30 on December 29) holds the NFL record for most sacks before a player’s 30th birthday with 121.5 career sacks. He leads the next-closest player, T.J.

Browns and Titans Enter Desperate Week 14 Battle
The Cleveland Browns enter Sunday with a 3-9 record, fourth in the AFC North division. The Tennessee Titans are even more desperate at 1-11, struggling significantly throughout the 2025 season. Both teams seek momentum with multiple weeks remaining.
Historically, the Browns lead the head-to-head series 37-32-0. In their most recent matchups, Cleveland dominated, winning 27-3 previously and 41-35 in a tight battle before that. The Titans haven’t had much success against the Browns lately, making today’s task considerably challenging.
What Looms for Both Fanbases
The Browns are slight favorites, currently -3.5 point spread, though both teams employ struggling offenses defending elite pass rushers. For Tennessee, slowing Garrett will determine survival; for Cleveland, a victory paired with sack production could energize the season stretch.

The Titans’ Offensive Struggle Against Elite Pass Rush
Tennessee ranks among the league’s worst offensively, which spells danger against Garrett’s dominance. Already sitting at 1-11, the Titans face an uphill battle protecting quarterbacks against the NFL’s current sack leader. The offensive line must account for Garrett constantly.
This is a perfect storm scenario: a desperate team facing their toughest defensive matchup yet. Garrett has 5 sacks in just 2 games against certain opponents recently, demonstrating his capability to dominate any single afternoon. Tennessee’s protecting scheme will be tested extensively throughout today’s clash.
Can Myles Garrett Inch Closer to NFL Immortality?
The question isn’t whether Garrett will eventually break the record—statistics suggest he will. The real mystery is when. Against a weak Titans offensive line, the star edge rusher has every opportunity to accelerate his record chase. Two sacks today moves him to 21.0, leaving just 1.5 sacks for history.
Pro Football Reference and multiple sportsbooks heavily favor Garrett to break this mark before December ends. One sack puts 19 just 3.5 sacks from the 22.5 standard. The Browns pass rush could dominate early, enabling this historic moment today or definitely within the next few weeks as the season concludes.
“Myles Garrett needs four sacks in the Cleveland Browns’ final five games to set the NFL’s single-season record.”
