Myles Garrett was exhausted. He didn't shy away from that fact as he sat in front of his locker Sunday after Cleveland's 21-21 tie with the Steelers.

Asked if he'd ever been as tired as he was after playing every single snap -- all 84 of them -- Garrett smiled.

"Oh, heck no," Garrett said. "That last drive I was like, 'They've got to lay down or I have to take the ball away again.'"

Considering the way he dominated the fourth quarter, it wasn't all that far-fetched of an idea.

With the Browns trailing 21-7 and the offense floundering, Garrett single-handedly brought the game back within reach.

Midway through the final quarter, Garrett burst around the edge, wrapped running back James Conner from behind and poked the ball loose. It squirted on the ground and into the arms of Jabrill Peppers, who ran it back to the 1-yard line. The Browns punched it in the end zone one play later, and it was suddenly a two-possession game.

On the ensuing possession, Garrett wasn't touched as he strip-sacked quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The Browns didn't capitalize on that particular opportunity, but it shifted field position. Another defensive stand gave the ball back to the offense with a little more than 2 minutes to play in a favorable spot. Cleveland scored two plays later, and the game was tied.

All told, Garrett finished with two sacks, two forced fumbles, two quarterback hurries, six tackles and a pass defensed.
