Through the first 11 weeks of the season, Los Angeles Rams star defensive tackle Aaron Donald racked up another impressive campaign coming off his first Defensive Player of the Year award.

Donald put together another strong outing as he racked up a pair of sacks that forced fumbles in the huge 54-51 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night. Head coach Sean McVay has been even more impressed by the play of the All-Pro defensive tackle, who he believes he has taken his game to the next level.

“I think he was well-deserving of Defensive Player of the Year last year and I think he's even playing better this year,” McVay said, according to official transcript from a conference call. “I think he's truly taken his game to a different level. You feel him every single snap.”

Donald has been the driving force up the middle for the Rams defense as he has racked up a career-high and league-best 14.5 sacks along with leading the NFL in quarterback hits, tackles for loss, which he could become the only defensive tackle to lead the NFL to do that in in a single season, according to Paul Hembekides of ESPN.

He also leads the league with 130 yards loss on his sacks, which the next highest total being 80 yards lost on sacks by Kansas City Chiefs third-year defensive end Chris Jones, per TeamRankings.com. The 27-year-old has certainly taken his play to the next level this season that helped play a significant part to the Rams' success this season while he has put himself as arguably the frontrunner to earn the Defensive Player of the Year award once again.

Following the Rams' bye in Week 12, Donald will have a chance to add to his impressive campaign over the final five games of the regular season.
