Browns’ Myles Garrett becomes youngest player to reach 100 sacks days after warning Browns

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett reached 100 career sacks in Sunday’s Week 16 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Garrett got the sack late in the first half, tackling Joe Burrow for an eight-yard loss. This gave him 100.5 sacks for his career, placing him tied for 60th on the NFL’s all-time list. He now has 12 for the season.

Sacking Burrow to reach the mark seemed fitting, with Garrett running at the Bengals’ QB nine times in the eight games they played against each other. This is Garrett’s most sacks against a quarterback and against a team in his NFL career.

Garrett becomes the first player in league history to reach 100 sacks before age 29. He will be 29 next week. With this sack, he also tied Bruce Smith and Lawrence Taylor for fourth-fastest players to reach 100 sacks, reaching that number in 115 games played. Smith is the NFL’s all-time sack leader with 200, while Taylor ranks 9th with 142.)

Only Reggie White (96), TJ Watt (109) and DeMarcus Ware (113) have reached the mark in fewer games.

Garrett’s firing also comes days after he
