Buffalo Bills: 3 ways to slow down Aaron Donald in Week 3
These are three ways the Buffalo Bills can try to slow down Los Angeles Rams’ defensive tackle Aaron Donald in Week 3.
The Buffalo Bills offense, specifically their passing attack, is off to a fast start. The development of Josh Allen, combined with the addition of Stefon Diggs, is paying huge dividends. Through the first two weeks, Allen is leading the league in passing yards with 727 yards and has thrown six touchdowns with no interceptions. Meanwhile, Diggs is tied for the league lead in receiving yards with 239.
This week though the Buffalo Bills face a different challenge as they face the Los Angeles Rams, and specifically defensive tackle Aaron Donald. He is one of the best defensive players in the NFL and has won NFL Defensive Player of the Year twice in his career.
The impact he has on a game is rarely seen from a defensive tackle and earlier this week offensive coordinator Brian Daboll had the perfect answer when asked how to stop Aaron Donald.
