A 2011 Minnesota Vikings sack that NFL officials changed a call on seemed to work in the Cleveland Browns' defensive end's favor.

Garrett has recorded at least half a sack in 13 games this season, including 11 of the last 12. He had 14 during a five-game midseason span that included a team-record five against the New England Patriots on Oct. 26, four against the Ravens on Nov. 14 and three more a week later at Las Vegas.

But one NFL Hall of Famer doesn't see it that way. Former Minnesota Vikings star Jared Allen believes his name should sit beside Garrett's in the record books. In the months leading up to Allen's induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2025, the four-time All-Pro was adamant that the NFL took away his 23rd sack during the 2011 season.
