Myles Garrett delivers chilling warning to NFL after three-sack performance

LANDOVER, Md.— The Los Angeles Rams have been searching for someone to slam the door on opposing offenses all season.Myles Garrett believes that search is officially over.“I am that closer,” Garrett declared following the Rams’ 20-13 victory over the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon.

“I am that closer.So we don’t need to look any further.”There was no hesitation in his voice, no attempt at humility.

Just the confidence of a two-time reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year who knows exactly what he’s capable of doing.And after recording three sacks and a forced fumble in his first game since suffering a knee injury in Week 1, who could argue with him?When asked why he believes he’s the closer the Rams have desperately needed, Garrett doubled down.“Because I was born that,” Garrett said.“Some people got it, some people don’t.

Some people have to train it to really amount to it.But I was born with that.

I’ve only continued to hone it along the way.”Garrett’s performance wasn’t flawless.He committed a pair of penalties, including a costly neutral zone infraction late in the fourth quarter.But rather than allowing the mistake to derail him, Garrett responded with another sack, helping preserve the Rams’ third consecutive victory.“I wasn’t worried,” Garrett said.

“I just made sure I won my rush and, hell, closed it out.”The frightening part for the rest of the NFL?Garrett believes he’s nowhere near his best.“I’m nowhere near where I want to be,” he said.If three sacks and a forced fumble are what Garrett considers rusty, opposing quarterbacks might want to start sleeping with one eye open.California Post News: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, WhatsApp, LinkedInCalifornia Post Sports Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, XCalifornia Post Opinion California Post Newsletters: Sign up here!California Post App: Download here!Home delivery: Sign up here!Page Six Hollywood: Sign up here!...
