how many sacks does myles garrett need

Myles Garrett needs 3.5 more sacks to break the NFL single-season sack record and 3.0 more sacks to tie it, based on the most recent public tracking.

Quick context

• The single-season sack record is 22.5 sacks , held by Michael Strahan (2001) and T.J. Watt (2021).

• Recent trackers show Garrett at 19.5–20 sacks late in the 2025 season, which leaves him about 3.0–3.5 sacks short of 22.5, depending on the exact game log being used.

So in fan and forum discussions right now, when people ask “how many sacks does Myles Garrett need?” , they’re almost always talking about him needing roughly three more sacks to move past that 22.5 mark and own the record outright.
