Rams Make a Huge Myles Garrett Flex After His Incredible Performance in Return From Injury 1
Myles Garrett gave the Los Angeles Rams a big lift at the expense of the Washington Commanders, who seemed to have no answer for the All-Pro defensive end.
In his first game since Week 1’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, Garrett recorded not just one, not two, but three sacks in Los Angeles’ 20-13 win over the Commanders on Sunday at Northwest Stadium in Landover.
Garrett missed a total of seven games due to a knee injury, but he seemed way over it when he dominated in the trenches against the Commanders. His first sack as a member of the Rams came off a strip-sack of Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels, who was sacked a total of four times for a loss of 21 yards. The other sack was courtesy of half-sacks from Braden Fiske and Shaun Dolac.
In addition, Garrett had a forced fumble, doing it all in 35 snaps.

Of course, the Rams were ecstatic to see Garrett back in action — and be productive right away.
“A force to be reckoned with,” Los Angeles wrote as a caption for a post on X, formerly Twitter, celebrating the performance of the former No. 1 overall NFL draft pick.

After the game, Garrett gave a shoutout to his teammates for making it easier for him on the field.
“Felt great to be out there with my teammates again… They supported me. We support each other,” the Texas A&M Aggies football product said.

The win over Arizona pushed Los Angeles to above .500, as Sean McVay’s team now sports a 5-4 record.
Up next for LA is a Week 10 encounter with the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium in Glendale.
