4. Garrett keeps the streak going

In the intro, the whole “where’s Myles” narrative was touched on. It was a crazy question as some were upset that the Browns lost and decided Myles Garrett not recording a sack was one of the reasons for the loss. There was also some scuttlebutt on social media questioning whether or not No. 95 deserved his massive offseason extension.

Then in Week 2, he silenced the doubters as he started a three-game streak of recording a strip-sack. He hasn’t forced a fumble in the past two weeks, but he still had a sack in Week 5 against Indianapolis and one against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6.

Overall, Garrett now has seven sacks in six games which means he’s on pace for 18.5 this season. That would not only be a career-best for him but it would be a Cleveland Browns record as well.

While we won’t predict whether or not he finishes with that number, we will predict that he keeps the streak going in Week 7 by recording another sack on Joe Burrow. His first of the season came against the Cincinnati rookie, and it set Cleveland up in near their own goal line as he ripped the ball out of Burrow’s hand. Garrett has been playing phenomenally and there’s no reason not to expect him to continue that against this offensive line.
