When Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow faced the Cleveland Browns for the first time in his rookie season, the Bengals had the ball in the middle of the third quarter with an 8-point deficit.
Burrow dropped back to pass, and Browns All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett broke through the line of scrimmage. Garrett forced a fumble inside the 10-yard line, and two plays later the Browns had a 28-13 lead.
Garrett, a two-time Pro Bowler in the conversation for the 2021 Defensive Player of the Year Award, can change an opposing offense’s game plan as much as any defensive player in the NFL.
