The Los Angeles Rams, led by Myles Garrett, are considering a challenge for the NFL's all-time sack record. Currently, the Chicago Bears hold the record with 72 sacks. The Rams finished with 47 sacks last season, placing them seventh in the league, and will need contributions from players beyond Garrett. Historical context shows the Rams' highest sack total was 57 in 1999, which featured multiple contributors, unlike recent seasons. While Garrett aims to bolster the pass rush, analysts suggest focusing on the franchise record is a more attainable goal.
