Browns' Myles Garrett Sets Franchise Sack Record in Loss

Myles Garrett, the Cleveland Browns' star defensive end, set a franchise record by recording five sacks in a single game against the New England Patriots, surpassing the mark for most sacks by a player under 30. Despite his dominant individual performance, which included breaking Reggie White's record for sacks before age 30 and tying for the NFL lead with 10 sacks this season, the Browns lost 32-13, extending their struggles. Garrett expressed deep frustration, stating he would "throw the whole performance away for a win," emphasizing his desire to contribute to team success over personal accolades. His frustration is compounded by the Browns' ongoing offensive difficulties and a 12-game road losing streak. Garrett, the 2017 first overall draft pick and 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, had requested a trade earlier in the offseason but instead signed a $160 million contract extension with a no-trade clause. Despite his record-breaking efforts and elite play, Garrett remains disheartened by the team's lack of progress and the inability to convert defensive prowess into victories.
