“Aaron Donald Is One of the All-Time Greats”: Bengals HC Zac Taylor Identifies Biggest Obstacle Between Him and Super Bowl Trophy

The Cincinnati Bengals are preparing for the greatest battle of the season against the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach Zac Taylor has been weighing his weapons against those in the Rams, and one of them proves to be of enormous threat to the Bengals. Unsurprisingly, that threat is Aaron Donald. 

“He’s one of the great players of all-time, there’s no doubt about that. You have to have a great game plan in place for him… But our guys don’t back down to anybody.” Taylor said of Aaron Donald. Zac Taylor, who used to be an assistant coach to Sean McVay in Rams, knows how well the Rams are. 

However, Cincinnati has progressed their way to the Super Bowl, surprising their fans in the playoff games one after the other. Quarterback Joe Burrow has been a genuine leader this season. Coming back from a season-ending ACL injury, he started the season with a bang, and will surely end it the same way.

The Bengals, though have the likes of a great offense, the Rams will be ready to counter them with their unforgivable defense at all times. On one hand, there is the young offensive Cincinnati trio of QB Joe Burrow, WR Ja’Marr Chase, and RB Joe Mixon. While on the other hand, the Rams will be ready with their skilled defensive trio of DT Aaron Donald, OLB Von Miller, and CB Jalen Ramsey.

Will Aaron Donald put Joe Burrow to sleep?

The Heisman winner quarterback, Joe Burrow, was the most sacked (51) in the 2021 season; while the Rams ranked third in the list of most sacks by a team. However, Burrow allowed just one sack against the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. It will surely be a showdown and a game not to be missed.

Yet, while going against a bullying defense like the Rams, that number will surge high. Taylor, the former coach of the Rams, might have come up with a separate plan to deal with the beast Aaron Donald.

Joe, throughout the season, has proved that he is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the league. Even though being sacked the highest number of times, he has never refused to go for another snap. Moreover, the GOAT Tom Brady lauded the quarterback’s toughness, which will surely be on display in the Super Bowl. 

Now that the teams have reached the ultimate game of the season, it is going to be no less than a dogfight between the two. Who are you rooting for?
