Myles Garrett thrives in Rams’ defense with Aaron Donald in win over Commanders
Summary

Myles Garrett sacked Jayden Daniels three times as the Los Angeles Rams limited the Washington Commanders to 13 points, improving their record to 5-4. Although Aaron Donald did not register a sack, he contributed significantly in both run and pass defense, tying for a team-high in impact plays. The Rams' defense showed dominance, pressuring Daniels on 35% of his dropbacks. The return of Garrett is expected to enhance the Rams' defensive prospects further, especially when cornerback Trent McDuffie returns from injury.
