Myles Garrett's 5 most dominant plays vs. Eagles
Quarterbacks in the AFC North may have a tough time sleeping for the next few months if they watched Thursday's preseason game between the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles.
Browns sophomore defensive end Myles Garrett put his vast skill set on display in his team's third preseason contest, making quick work of the defending Super Bowl champion's offensive line on nearly every snap.
The No. 1 overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft was either blowing past or pushing around Eagles left tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai all night long. He'd finish the first half with two sacks of Super Bowl LII MVP quarterback Nick Foles, including a safety, and two tackles for loss.

Garrett pushed the 6-foot-6, 320-pound Vaitai all the way from the line of scrimmage back to hurry Foles, who was just able to get off a short throw to the sideline.

After recording seven sacks in just 11 games as a rookie, Garrett got his first of the preseason by blowing through guard Stefen Wisniewski to place a hand on a fallen Foles in the Eagles' end zone.

With Garrett speeding toward him off the right end, Foles quickly dumped it off to running back Matt Jones, who had no choice but to run into a crowd and ended up losing a fumble.

Garrett again came from behind on an unsuspecting Foles to take the quarterback to the ground for his second sack of the first half.
