\n Battle of Myles<\/p>\n

Garrett didn’t get his record sack until 4:44 left, and, on most days, when it was his only one, the Bengals would take that. But the sack short-circuited a drive in Cleveland territory in a game they needed a touchdown. Bengals left tackle Orlando Brown Jr.<\/a>, who had two false starts in his effort to stop him, saluted Garrett, as well as Bengals head coach Zac Taylor<\/a> and his plan.<\/p>\n

In a first half they crushed the Browns with 233 yards, the throw-first Bengals dropped back to pass 19 times and ran it 19 times and came out with a 120 yards rushing for the third straight week to go with a total of 429 against the NFL’s second-ranked defense.<\/p>\n

Plus, in their go-ahead drive, Brown and Co., kept Burrow away from Garrett.<\/p>\n

“We had a plan. Coach Taylor did a great job putting us in good positions,” said Brown, who usually had help from the backs and tight ends, particularly Drew Sample<\/a>. “Drew Sample did a great job. For the most part, we did a good job executing. We were effective. Hard to do against that scheme and players.”<\/p>\n

The sack? If you’ve seen any of Garrett’s 124.5, you’ve seen them all. Brown had no help on this one. Garrett, who could count only three one-on-ones all day, got one here. He got under Brown with his notorious dip to the outside. And when one of the best pass rushers ever says it’s the best get-off he ever had, who would have a chance?<\/p>\n

“I was watching the clock. I knew that the next time he gave a count, it was going to be that they were gone,” Garrett said. “I was just watching the ball as quickly as I could, and they had a couple other tells that gave me the snap count. As soon as I saw that, it aligned. It’s probably the best get-off I’ve ever had, trying to get that sack, and the rest is history.”<\/p>\n

Brown: “He did a really good job getting off the ball there. They had an interior game. There was nowhere for Joe to go.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Battle of Myles Garrett didn’t get his record sack until 4:44 left, and, on most days, when it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":655276,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2053],"tags":[228,443,227,256,2296,93249,7,1843,8633,81,898,6,13906],"class_list":["post-655275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cincinnati-bengals","tag-bengals","tag-centerpiece","tag-cincinnati","tag-cincinnati-bengals","tag-cincinnatibengals","tag-cleveland-browns-at-cincinnati-bengals-2025-reg-18","tag-football","tag-hobson","tag-jamarr-chase","tag-latest-news","tag-latest-stories","tag-nfl","tag-quick-hits"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115841187340380041","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=655275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655275\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/655276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=655275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=655275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=655275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
