5 bold predictions for Browns against Vikings
By John Buhler
3. Myles Garrett will have another multi-sack game after last week’s showing
Myles Garrett kept giving Justin Fields his “welcome to the NFL” moments last week. The former No. 1 overall pick out of Texas A&M had a day to remember vs. the Bears. Garrett made up for lost time by sacking Fields a staggering 4.5 times, giving him 5.5 sacks on the season through three weeks. 10 sacks this season is a given, but he will be within striking distance after Week 4.
Multi-sack games are something fans are always hoping for out of their star pass-rushers. They may not have happen as often as they would like for them to, but Garrett gives Cleveland back-to-back games with multiple sacks. While Cousins is not going to spend half of the game on his back, the Browns’ pass-rush will be able to generate some pressure throughout the Week 4 contest.
The first sack Garrett will have of Cousins will be him working the Vikings offensive line spectacularly. Cousins will have no time and will crumble under the pressure. As for the second one on the afternoon, it will come at a crucial time in the second half. In a certain passing down, Cousins will fall to the turf by Garrett a second time in a coverage sack set up by the secondary.
Entering Week 5, Garrett will have 7.5 sacks on the season and pushing for 10 through Week 6.
