It’s been a long day for the Chicago Bears’ offensive line against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3 of the NFL season. And Myles Garrett has been the primary beneficiary.
The former Texas A&M great and former No. 1 overall pick has made the most of his time in Cleveland, finding himself on 2 Pro Bowl teams as the Browns have become one of the rising teams in the league. And after 3 straight seasons of double-digit sacks, Garrett’s well on his way to getting there again.
With Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields making his 1st career NFL start, the Browns have absolutely terrorized him by sacking him a total of 9 times. Garrett has 4.5 of those, which is a new franchise record.
