DE Myles Garrett made NFL history in the final week of the 2025 regular season, as he broke the NFL single-season sack record with his 23rd sack. He surpassed Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt, with Strahan originally setting the record at 22.5 sacks during the 2001 season and Watt tying the record in 2021.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame – located in Canton, Ohio – is recognizing his historic achievement by displaying Garrett's uniform that he wore against the Bengals in Week 18 in their "Pro Football Today" gallery.
Garrett hit milestones throughout the 2025 season, as he also broke the Browns single-season sack record that he set in 2021 and tied in 2022. Garrett became the first player since 1982 to record 12 sacks in six consecutive seasons when he recorded his 12th sack of the season in Week 11, as well set the record for the most sacks by a player under the age of 30, surpassing Reggie White. He is also the first player in NFL history to record at least 14 sacks in four consecutive seasons.
In addition to his 23 sacks, Garrett led the league with 33 tackles for loss during the regular season – and set a career high in tackles for loss. His 33 tackles for loss are also the second-most by a player in a single season since 2000, trailing only J.J. Watt who totaled 39 tackles for loss in 2012. Garrett added 60 tackles and 39 quarterback hits, as well as one pass defensed and three forced fumbles.
