Myles Garrett had a decent performance against the Patriots despite the loss. He tallied six tackles and set the single-game franchise record with five sacks. He also surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer Reggie White for the most sacks by an under-30 player in the league.

The Browns drafted Garrett with the first pick in the 2017 NFL draft. In nine seasons, he has tallied 377 tackles, 107.5 sacks, 126 tackles for loss and 210 quarterback hits.

After a disappointing 3-14 campaign last year, he requested a trade. However, the team was unwilling to let go of the six-time Pro Bowler. In March, he decided to remain with the Browns, agreeing to a four-year extension worth $160 million with a "no-trade" clause.
