  "account": "Myles Garrett made his Los Angeles Rams debut against the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night, but he failed to register any stats in the box score. This lack of production will reset expectations for the Rams, who were once considered preseason Super Bowl favorites. Despite being named a two-time Defensive Player of the Year and setting the NFL's single-season sack record last season, Garrett didn't log a sack, a quarterback hit, a tackle, or a tackle assist. He also didn't record a past defended, a fumble forced, or a fumble recovered. Following the game, Garrett admitted that he wasn't at his best due to a knee issue, and acknowledged that he needed to be better. The 49ers took advantage of the Rams' lack of pressure, with quarterback Brock Purdy throwing for 205 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception. Garrett's debut will likely raise questions about the Rams' prospects for the upcoming season, but previous instances of him posting zeros in the box score haven't tarnished his reputation or prevented him from being named first-team All-Pro.",
