Rams’ trade for Myles Garrett makes them Super Bowl favorites

Rams’ trade for Myles Garrett makes them Super Bowl favorites

The Rams were six yards from the Super Bowl. The Rams’ celebrated young defense needed only to smother immobile Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold deep in his territory in the final five minutes to regain possession and have a real shot at winning last season’s NFC championship. They couldn’t touch him. For more than four minutes Darnold drove downfield, connecting on three of four passes, baffling the pass rushers, bleeding the clock, and by the time the Seahawks finally gave the ball back, the Rams had only 25 seconds to live. Final score: Seahawks 31, Rams 27. Final verdict: The Rams needed a closer. The Rams needed somebody to chase Darnold into submission the way Aaron Donald once famously chased down Joe Burrow in the final seconds of Super Bowl LVI. The Rams needed a closer the way the Dodgers needed Edwin Díaz. The Rams needed … Myles Garrett? Are you kidding me? They got him? He now plays for them? The Rams needed an edge rusher and they acquired an edge destroyer? The Rams …

Myles Garrett Breaks NFL Single-Season Sack Record With 23 and Laments Not Getting 2 More

Myles Garrett Breaks NFL Single-Season Sack Record With 23 and Laments Not Getting 2 More

CINCINNATI (AP) — The night before Myles Garrett got his 23rd sack to break the NFL single-season record, he had a nightmare that he fell short of the mark. Garrett instead made his sweetest dreams come true. “Despair. I was scared as hell,” Garrett said of the nightmare. “We got to deny fate, whatever it is, we got to make it happen. And I just went into it and still had the utmost confidence in myself and my preparation and in my guys.” The record came in a victory that concluded an otherwise difficult season for the Browns (5-12). Andre Szmyt kicked a 49-yard field goal as time expired as Cleveland rallied past Cincinnati 20-18. Garrett came into the game needing one sack to surpass the mark of 22 1/2 shared by Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan (in 2001 in a 16-game season with the New York Giants) and Pittsburgh’s T.J. Watt in 2021. Burrow was in the shotgun formation on first-and-10 at the Browns 45-yard line when he saw Garrett coming and …
