The Sean McVay-led Los Angeles Rams are sitting pretty at the second position in the NFC West Division table behind the Seattle Seahawks.
A large reason behind their dominance in 2020 is the impressive defensive display from key players such as DE Aaron Donald and CB Jalen Ramsey.
It is important to note that Donald has been one of the more consistent players in the NFL over the last 5 years or so. The LA Rams star made the elite Madden NFL 99 list once again in 2020.

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won 3 of their 4 home games in 2020. They will look to maintain that record when they host the Los Angeles Rams on Monday.
Here’s what the 6-time Super Bowl winner said about Aaron Donald and Co. ahead of their game. “Well, it’s a Top-10 defense in every category. I mean, Aaron Donald’s as good as there is probably ever played in the National Football League at D-line.
“He’s an incredible player. Explosive, quick, powerful. It’s amazing the production he has even when people are double-teaming him and triple-teaming him, but he just doesn’t. He never lets down, so he’s a hard-working guy.
“You could tell football means a lot to him, but he really sparks that whole defense…they got some really athletic linebackers with Jalen in the secondary.”

“They’re fast, they attack, they’re aggressive, they’re in a good scheme. And you don’t have a lot of time as a quarterback to sort things out because this D lines on you so quick.
“So just going to have to, you know, make good reads and make good accurate throws be on the same page at the receivers. And you know, it’s gonna be a great football game,” Brady said earlier today.
