If the Los Angeles Rams want to have any chance of beating the New Orleans Saints at the Superdome in the NFC Championship Game this Sunday, they are going to have to slow down Drew Brees.

Back on Nov. 4, Brees torched the Rams for 346 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-35 Saints win. Los Angeles will obviously need to be better this time around, and Aaron Donald says the team has a plan in place to make life tough for the MVP candidate:

“We got a gameplan, we’re going to stick to it and we’re going to get after him,” Donald told reporters on Thursday, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. “Anytime you play against a great quarterback like that, he’s going to do things a normal quarterback ain’t going to do. So we know what to expect. We try to do what we got to do to try our best to make him uncomfortable and get after him and, you know, but we got to stop the run first before we think about rushing the passer. They got two great backs we got to slow down and try to find ways to stop. After we do that, we’ll get after the quarterback and try and put some pressure on him.”

Donald added that he would “get after” Brees no less than three times this weekend.

Whether Donald means sacking Brees or simply hurrying him, we don't know, but the Rams better do something, as Brees completed 25 of his 36 passes without taking a single sack during the previous meeting between the two teams this season.

One thing is for sure: if someone is going to bring down Brees, it's Donald, as the Defensive Player of the Year racked up 20.5 sacks this season.
