Matthew Stafford’s praises for the legendary DPOY

In the pre-match interview before facing the Pittsburgh Steelers, QB Stafford explained how well Aaron Donald plays on the field. He emphasized that Donald is always there on time wherever he’s required and that he should be doubled. Stafford said, “Hearing our calls, we had a situation. He was trying to move away from the point we were going against our defense…”

He continued, “Maybe last Friday or two Fridays ago, we made a call to double to him; he moved to the other side. I flippered it. He got up and went, moved over. I said, I don’t care, just double him. Said, you know, I mean, I just like he knows what’s coming.” Matthew Stafford also said earlier that Donald is a special player and that he’s a game-wrecker.

Aaron Donald is a legendary 3-time Defensive Player of the Year and has showcased an exceptional performance on the field. Nevertheless, there is an important matter that still lurks around the Rams- their playoff contention. The LA Rams had been eliminated from the 2023 Playoff Contention last year. So matter how good the team performs this season, will they be able to get it back?

Will the Los Angeles Rams be able to get back into Playoff Contention?

The LA Rams had been eliminated from the playoff contention last year after losing against the Green Bay Packers on December 19, 2023. The team is looking to get back into contention, however, their chances are incredibly low.

It can’t be ignored that there are many strong opponents who are rising to the top. Even though the Rams occupy the last wildcard spot right now in the NFC, every win matters for them at this point. Therefore, it is a pretty tough task to get back into playoff contention at the moment.
