Myles Garrett speaks in the Browns’ win over the Steelers

The three sacks that got him to 10 all came at key points in the first half.

His first came on the Steelers’ opening drive of the game. Wilson had led his offense to the Browns’ 32-yard line, facing third-and-3. Garrett brought Wilson down from behind for an eight-yard loss, and K Chris Boswell missed the ensuing field goal as the Steelers remained scoreless.

His second sack of the game was paired with a forced fumble that led the Browns to a successful field goal attempt to build on their first half lead. His third came as the Steelers tried to score in the final minute of the first half, effectively ending the half after bringing Wilson down.

“He just knew this game. He knew we needed him. We needed the big guys and he definitely came through,” head coach Kevin Stefanski said after the game.

While the Browns’ defense allowed the Steelers to score 13 points in the fourth quarter and regain the lead, their performance on third and fourth downs proved the difference in the game.

On their second drive, the Browns forced a turnover on downs after Garrett and S Grant Delpit brought down QB Justin Fields for a 2-yard loss. On the Steelers’ first drive of the second half, DT Maurice Hurst II tackled RB Jaylen Warren for a 1-yard loss on fourth down, ending their drive.

“That was huge. That was monumental in the game. Keeping them from extending drives on fourth-and-1s, fourth-and-2s,” Garrett said. “Getting the short fields for our offense and just chipping away and either scoring or continuing to create short fields to eventually put the ball in, I think that’s what won the game for us.”
