Myles Garrett is on pace to destroy the single-season sacks record.

After piling up three more sacks in the Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, the Cleveland Browns superstar is now up to 18 on the season, which is leading the NFL.

And, with those 18 sacks, Garrett is just five away from breaking the single-season record of 22.5, which was set back in 2001 by New York Giants legend Michael Strahan.

"Chasing Mike, chasing greatness," Garrett said of his sacks record chase. "If God wills it, I’ll go get it. Hopefully, sooner rather than later. I want it to come in a win. I want to have a chance to play some games in January and February.

"We gotta win out. Hopefully, things go our way. It would be great, but we have a lot more pressing things to do."

Here's a few stats that perfectly encapsulate just how dominant Garrett has been:

1. According to Underdog NFL, Garrett has three games with three-plus sacks this season. Every other player in the NFL has combined for four such contests.

2. The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov notes that Garrett has a whopping 13 sacks over his last four contests. If you only take those 13 sacks into account, Garrett would still be tied for the league lead.

Along with the sacks record, Garrett also has his sights set on the all-time single-season mark for most tackles for loss.

Garrett is now up to 26 through 11 games and is just 13 shy of the record, which is held by Houston Texans legend J.J. Watt, who tallied 39 in 2012.

It would only be fitting for Garrett to break both records, as he has easily been the best edge rusher of his generation and is continuing to make the case he is one of the best pass-rushers in NFL history.
