Garrett Leads Browns Suffocating Defense
The Cleveland Browns came away Sunday with an impressive home victory to go to 2-1 on the season. Browns defensive end Myles Garrett may have put in his most dominating performance of his career.
He will certainly be a talking point for all of the Monday morning shows. His highlights and stat line may put him front and center in the conversation for the Defensive Player of the Year award.
The Browns defense suffocated Ryan Tanehill with pressure the entire game. He only managed 68 yards passing on the day as the Browns sacked him 5 times. Defensive end Alex Wright got his first sack of his career in the win.
The play that will be talked about most tomorrow will be the one where Garrett had two tight ends following him in motion across the formation. The play led to a delay of game penalty against the Titans.
Garrett's first sack would come at the end of the first quarter where he also stripped the ball from Tennessee quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
Garrett would share this next one after Myles forced Tannehill to move up and left as he met up with Ogbo Okoronkwo.
His second full sack came as the Titans were driving in the red zone.
Finally, his last sack came deep in their own territory as he almost sacked Tannehill in the end zone.
It was a great team performance all around and one that was led by the defense. The Browns clearly have the most impressive defense in the NFL after three weeks. They have a big game that could be for the lead in the division with the Ravens coming in next Sunday.
