There hasn’t been much for the Cleveland Browns to celebrate this season. But in the final game of the year, former Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett delivered a moment that cut through the disappointment. With one fourth‑quarter sack on Joe Burrow, Garrett claimed the single‑season NFL sack record.
Garrett’s takedown pushed him past both Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt, who previously shared the mark at 22.5. The game came to a full stop as officials paused play to acknowledge the historic milestone—a moment that would’ve sparked controversy had playoff stakes been involved. Instead, with both teams simply jockeying for draft position, the celebration unfolded without hesitation.

Predictably, Aggie fans and countless others across social media flooded timelines with praise for Garrett’s achievement and his already storied career. Just as predictably, the discourse quickly shifted to the number of games required to reach the record, with Steelers fans insisting Watt remains the “true” record holder.
Debates aside, the NFL record book now lists Myles Garrett at the top. Caveats may follow him, but the accomplishment stands.
Below are some of the reactions on X to Garrett’s record‑setting 23rd sack of the season.
