Myles Garrett doesn't mince words on Mike Tomlin & Aaron Rodgers focusing more on Browns DE's sack record over Steelers win

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett entered Week 17 hoping to break the NFL single-season record in sacks. He couldn't achieve the goal, as the Pittsburgh Steelers didn't allow him to get close to quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The AFC North rivalries are fiercer than in other divisions, and the Steelers demonstrated that they weren't willing to let Garrett get this honor in front of them. Additionally, he would have broken a record that belongs to Steelers' superstar T.J. Watt and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan (tied at 22.5 sacks).

Myles Garrett didn't hold back when discussing the Steelers' gameplan. He took a jab at Mike Tomlin and Co. for worrying more about him than about winning a crucial game for their playoff aspirations.

"To an extent, they were more worried about keeping me away from Aaron [Rodgers] than getting the win. That's what came back to bite them," Garrett said, via SleeperNFL on X.

Garrett finished with one tackle and a quarterback hit. He would have gotten that record and a big win against a team that the Browns have dominated in recent seasons.
