The Los Angeles Rams are coming off a monster win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11, so Aaron Donald and Co. are certainly not lacking in confidence when they face the San Francisco 49ers.
After turning the ball over four times in the first half, the Rams saw themselves in a pretty big hole deep into the third quarter.
However, when the Rams were trailing 17-6 with two minutes to go in the third quarter, Donald recorded a strip sack on 49ers runningback Raheem Mostert deep in their own territory.

The Rams' defense picked up the loose ball and took it to the house, trimming the lead to four points. Just a few possessions later, the Rams marched downfield and scored another touchdown to take a three-point lead with 12 minutes to go in the game.
It's not like fans should be surprised to see this from the two-time defensive player of the year. Aaron Donald has been the epitome of defensive dominance from the defensive tackle position and continues to wreak havoc on opposing offensive lines.
Donald's ability to get to the quarterback has been a cornerstone of this Los Angeles defense over the last few years. This year, the Rams have coupled their lethal pass rush with one of the best secondaries in the NFL, giving opposing quarterbacks little to no options.
This season Donald has 10 sacks which is the most in the NFL so far. He also has four forced fumbles and is still considered to be one of the most impactful players in the NFL.
