Sackling Rodgers is an act that has eluded Garrett in the two games they’ve shared the field, including a Week 6 loss at Pittsburgh — one of just three games this season Cleveland’s star quarterback hasn’t added to his season total.
The Steelers have allowed a 23.1 pressure percentage in 2025, the lowest in the NFL, according to Next Generation Stats.
Garrett has been good against the Steelers at home, posting a 5.0 rating in each of the last two games in Cleveland. He enters Sunday with nine consecutive games of at least 0.5 seconds, the longest active streak in the league, according to NFL Research.
“Myles Garrett has certainly been a problem for us at this spot,” Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said this week. “I think he had five sacks against us in our last two outings, neither of which we won. And so we understand the gravity of what we’re going into and how they create a win and who’s important in that. He’s on the side of history and so we certainly respect that.”
A win on Sunday — or a loss by the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday — clinches the AFC North title for Pittsburgh. Garrett will hope to eclipse that by breaking one of the league’s most heralded defensive records.
