# Chad Ochocinco Johnson: Ochocinco predicted Myles Garrett won't repeat 23 sacks with the Rams but will still post around 17-18 sacks. **Claimed:** Sep 4, 2026 **Pundit:** Chad Ochocinco Johnson — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/chad-ochocinco-johnson **Outlet:** Nightcap (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/nightcap-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/28/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/6ced0da2-f257-4234-bf7c-b07601488685/bd93594d-4cde-425e-a1b8-b4bb004f9b81/audio.mp3?in_playlist=99f1543b-ae3c-4f45-90f2-b076014995d9 One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room. > He might not get 23 sacks, but I could book it. Give him 17, 18, boy. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Myles Garrett to record 17 sacks** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Myles Garrett, Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Myles Garrett — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/myles-garrett - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/rams ## What others said about the same people - Nick Shook on Aaron Donald: Shook unveiled his first NFL power rankings of the year, putting the Rams first, the Broncos second and the defending champion Seahawks only third, with the Dolphins last. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/ea18c6ec-7662-4e66-91ed-4d0ef9d7d97d (scored 100) - Jared Dubin on Los Angeles Rams: Dubin picks the Rams, Texans, Ravens, Bengals, Packers, Cowboys and Broncos in Week 1 with exact scores, and says the Rams are his pick to win the Super Bowl this season. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/5017ce6e-d3fa-471a-bcf6-b9834182fded (scored 26.19) - Jordan Dajani on Los Angeles Rams: Dajani picks the Rams over the 49ers, Texans over Bills, Ravens over Colts, Bengals over Buccaneers, Vikings over Packers, Cowboys over Giants and Broncos over Chiefs in Week 1, with exact scores.
