Cleveland Browns star edge-rusher Myles Garrett knows his team will have its hands full against Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
Garrett praised the Cowboys' signal-caller, saying Prescott has been a leader in the locker room and noting the Browns' defense cannot afford to give up big plays:
“He is a talented player,” Prescott said, via Jon Machota of The Athletic. “He is worth a lot to that team, and he has proven his worth day in and day out over there. We have to make sure that we do not allow him to make those big plays that he is accustomed to making.”
The Browns can avoid big plays by generating consistent pressure on Prescott, and Garrett is sure to play a vital role in that regard.
Garrett inked an enormous extension with the Browns in the offseason, and has responded with a monstrous start to his 2020 campaign.
The former Pro Bowler has 3.0 sacks in the first three games for the Browns, including a pair in a win over the Washington Football Team in Week 3. Garrett has also forced two fumbles while recovering two more.
Prescott, meanwhile, has had no issue airing it out. Dak has thrown for over 450 yards in each of the past two weeks, and all three of his touchdown passes went for at least 40 yards.
However, Prescott's expected completion percentage actually ranks in the bottom half of the league, per NFL Next Gen Stats, and he might be more susceptible to mistakes if Garrett and Co. can get into the backfield for the Browns.
