Myles Garrett is the NFL’s single-season sack leader after taking down Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow on Sunday.

It marked the 23rd sack of the season for Garrett, passing T.J. Watt and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan, who were tied atop the list at 22.5.
Garrett now has 12 sacks in his career against Burrow, passing Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson for his most against any quarterback, according to ESPN Research. It was also Garrett’s 16th sack against the Bengals, the most by any player against Cincinnati since sacks became official in 1982.
