Aaron Donald has a reputation as the “destroyer of worlds” along the defensive line, but Cleveland Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett is making a case this season to earn a similar reputation. After sacking Dak Prescott earlier in this game, Garrett got to the Dallas Cowboys passer a second time, this time forcing a fumble:

Garrett blows past right tackle Tyron Smith on this play, getting to Prescott and forcing the loose football, which the Browns recover. When evaluating pass rushers, many people focus on the raw measurables, such as speed off the edge. But technique is also a critical component of putting pressure on opposing passers. When you see the replay angle of this sack, pay attention to Garrett’s hands. He is so quick with his hands, using a ferocious hand-over move the avoid the punch from Smith. From there, Garrett bends his angle towards the passer, getting to him to force the turnover.
