The Titans were tired of Myles Garrett wrecking their offense so they hilariously sent 2 guys to shadow him
Three games into the 2023 season, the incomparable Myles Garrett looks capable of winning his first career Defensive Player of the Year Award. (And he won’t have to unleash his nasty crossover to do it.) On Sunday, amidst a one-man rampage, the Tennessee Titans showed they were tired of Garrett’s pure domination in an unconventional way.
In a game that saw Garrett amass five quarterback hits, three-and-a-half sacks, and three tackles-for-loss, the Titans just threw their hands up by the fourth quarter. In the name of trying to sustain any offense against an unblockable monster, Tennessee started shadowing Garrett with not one but two blockers.
I am not exaggerating. They literally had two people follow Garrett wherever he went across their offensive formation. But in a 20-3 affair at the time (Tennessee eventually 27-3), the effort was already too little, too late.
Oh, and they even got a delay of game penalty for this sequence:

Garrett has long been one of the NFL’s more terrifying forces off the edge. In 2023, with the Browns’ star-studded elite defense finally playing up to snuff, he’s deservedly getting more shine than ever.
