Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was leading the NFL with 13 sacks going into last week’s game against the Denver Broncos.
Garrett had a slow day at the office against the Broncos, totaling no sacks and no quarterback hits during Denver’s 29-12 victory. Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles did an exceptional job going up against one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, and one of his blocks caught the attention of renowned offensive line coach Paul Alexander.
“This might be the best pass block finish I’ve ever seen,” Alexander captioned a video he posted on Twitter/X showing Bolles blocking Myles from one side of the field to the other on Sunday.

“He’s extremely athletic,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said of Bolles on Monday. “Man, he played his butt off [Sunday]. [He] had a tough assignment. We knew that was going to be a challenge. He was going up against one of the better defensive players.
“To his credit, when we watched the tape, man, he battled. We did a handful of things over there to help slow down Myles. He’s experienced, he’s athletic. The chemistry of that [offensive line] room has really changed and it’s really been an asset for our club.”
That one block was arguably the highlight of the game for Bolles, and the left tackle received well-deserved praise on social media.
