Shedeur Sanders’ win in his first NFL start was the main takeaway from the Cleveland Browns’ 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, but Myles Garrett’s leadership on defense was a big reason the AFC North team pulled out the win.
Garrett was responsible for three of Raiders quarterback Geno Smith’s sacks and put himself in position to potentially break the single-season sack record. Garrett leads the NFL with 18 sacks this year and only needs five more to surpass the 22.5 mark set by New York Giants legend Michael Strahan and Pittsburgh Steelers star TJ Watt.

Eight Browns players had at least a half-sack.
“It’s the thing I’m most excited about,” Garrett said. “It makes me smile. The franchise record, I’m kind of waiting for myself. I continue to set the bar higher and higher.”
Cleveland has five games remaining this season. Garrett has had at least one sack in five straight games since the Browns’ 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins last month.

“Chasing Mike, chasing greatness,” Garrett said. “God willing, I’ll go get him. Hopefully as soon as possible. I want it to be a win. I want to have the chance to play some games in January and February. We have to win. I hope things go the way we want.
“That would be great, but we have much more urgent things to do.”
Cleveland is 3-8 this season and winning seven games in a row to close out this season would be impressive.
The Browns return home for a two-game trip starting next week with the San Francisco 49ers in town in Week 13 and the Tennessee Titans in Ohio in Week 14.
