Garrett wrecks havoc

Myles Garrett is the thorn in the side of Alejandro Villanueva. His worst games always seem to come against Garrett, and that will likely be no different this week. As of now, Garrett has been one of the best pass rushers in the league, and he is playing at a level that would be hard for anyone to stop. While Villanueva has been playing well for the Steelers, he may be in for a long day against Garrett.

I think Garrett has three to four sacks waiting for him on Sunday. That is a testament to how good he is playing right now. As well, Ben Roethlisberger has yet to suffer through a really physical game, and Sunday seems like a safe bet that he will hit the ground a few times. This could affect his decision-making and as a result force more interceptions. As well, Garrett can target Roethlisberger on sacks and force a couple of fumbles as well.

The question isn’t if Garrett will be a disruption, it’ll be how much of a disruption is he. If the Steelers can hold him to a single sack, they should leave on Sunday feeling pretty good. If things go south however and Garrett begins wreaking havoc, the Steelers offense could stall due to his constant pressure. How well Garrett does will be a big determination in who wins on Sunday.
