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.
