Nevermind winning a Super Bowl, Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett have to save Rams’ season
Follow
The Los Angeles Rams’ playoff aspirations now hinge on two defensive superstars after a string of injuries crippled their roster. With stars like Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Terrance Ferguson out, and the offensive line struggling, the team’s three-game winning streak has been built almost entirely on the shoulders of Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett.
The duo faces a critical test this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, a team that previously stunned the Rams with an 18-16 victory in Week 6. Garrett’s return from knee surgery last week proved pivotal, as he recorded three sacks in the Rams’ 20-13 win over Washington, while Donald’s dominance inside has forced offensive linemen to shift protection toward Garrett—creating new opportunities for both.
As the Rams’ only reliable weapons, Donald and Garrett have embraced the pressure, with Donald emphasizing the need for defensive stops and Garrett calling their partnership ‘pretty damn exciting.’ Another loss to Arizona could derail the Rams’ resurgence, but for now, their season may depend entirely on these two Hall of Fame-caliber pass rushers.
