Don’t let Aaron Donald wreck the game

Aaron Donald wrecking the game is always something you have to worry about when facing the Los Angeles Rams. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year is still in his prime and is one of the best defensive players ever.

He consistently dominates double teams and always makes an impact on the game. Keeping him off the stat sheet will be nearly impossible, but you have to hope you can keep at least him from making game-altering plays.

Donald will line up all over the defensive line, so everyone will get tested to start the season. He might get in for a sack, and you just have to hope it’s not a strip sack turnover that drastically swings the game. Above all else, the Buffalo Bills offensive line must prevent this man from getting a full head of steam before he hits their franchise quarterback.

The Buffalo Bills can counter Donald by throwing multiple bodies at him and getting the ball out quickly. If the Bills go for a quick passing attack, it could be a big day for Isaiah Mckenzie on drags and slants over the middle.

Additionally, the Bills could opt to deploy Zack Moss a hefty amount in this opener as he is the best blocker of any of the Bills running backs and could serve as an extra line of defense against Donald and Leonard Floyd.
