Cleveland Browns

Thank God for Myles Garrett. That's what the Cleveland Browns coaches, executives and Garret's own teammates must be thinking as they take a 27-21 lead into halftime against the Indianapolis Colts.

Garrett was an unstoppable force throughout the first half. The former first overall pick racked up six total tackles, a blocked field goal and most notably, who strip-sacks – the second of which led directly to points for the Browns.

With just 1:42 remaining in the half and the Colts backed up at their six yard line, Garrett blew eight past a chip from tight end Drew Ogletree and right tackle Blake Freeland, proceeding pry the ball loose from quarterback Gardner Minshew in the end zone. After a scramble for the football, linebacker Tony Fields came away with it for an immediate Browns score, to give Cleveland a 24-21 lead.

In a career littered with hall of fame highlights, it was one of Garrett's best yet. To take it a step further, the first half Garrett put together in Indianapolis may be the best of his career as well. 

Through five and a half games, Garrett has already recorded three forced fumbles this season, just one shy of his career high mark of four in 2020. Ironically, that was the season Cleveland last made the playoffs.

Despite giving up 21 points in the first half, Garrett and the defense have really set the tone for the Browns against the Colts. It's certainly been needed in a game that saw Deshaun Watson exit early in the first quarter with a head injury,
