Myles Garrett is determined to disrupt the Baltimore Ravens’ plans. Ahead of their Week 18 clash, the Cleveland Browns’ defensive end has issued a strong warning to Lamar Jackson about their upcoming matchup.

There is just one game left in the 2024 NFL regular season. While several teams are fighting to secure playoff berths, others have already turned their attention to the next campaign. The Browns fall into the latter category.

Cleveland’s season was disappointing, largely due to injuries that plagued key players. However, even though they are out of playoff contention, their Week 18 matchup against the Ravens is not one they plan to take lightly.

In contrast, the Ravens have emerged as legitimate Super Bowl contenders. Lamar Jackson is having one of the best seasons of his career, a fact that surely fuels the Browns’ determination to spoil Baltimore’s momentum.

The rivalry between Cleveland and Baltimore is always intense. Although the Browns have been eliminated, they are determined to make the Ravens work for every yard in Week 18, a sentiment Myles Garrett has made abundantly clear.

“I mean, I’d rather upset them and mess up their playoff hopes,” Garrett said, via a transcript from the team. “And if the sack title comes along with that, great. Definitely going to do what I can to be disruptive and take No. 8 out of the game as much as possible. If that comes along with it, outstanding. But at the end of the day, I want to win.”
