Myles Garrett on three-sack game: It was a weight off my shoulders to get back to who I am

Myles Garrett returned to dominant form in Los Angeles Rams’ 20-13 victory over Washington, delivering three sacks and six pressures on 27 pass-rush attempts per NFL Next Gen Stats. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year, who has accumulated 128.5 career sacks, called the performance a major confidence boost after struggling through a knee injury in Week 1 and missing the following game due to arthroscopic surgery.
Garrett, acquired in a high-profile trade to replace the void left by Aaron Donald’s retirement, emphasized his role as the team’s new defensive anchor, stating he was ‘that closer’ they needed. His three-sack outing marked the ninth time in his career he’s reached that milestone, and his return to top-tier play came in his second game back, including a combined four sacks with Donald on 23 shared defensive snaps.
