The Los Angeles Rams and Aaron Donald face the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, Oct. 1. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

Donald’s impeccable resume would make any defensive player envious.

He owns a Super Bowl ring, three NFL Defensive Player of the Year titles, won the 2014 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award and the 2018 Deacon Jones Award as the league’s sacks leader. He has made seven All-Pro teams and nine Pro Bowls and the unanimous All-American also collected the Lombardi Award, Outland Trophy and Chuck Bednarik Award among other honors in college.

Indy (2-1) learned that lesson the hard way when it last faced Donald in 2021.

On that day, he recorded seven tackles, one for loss and three quarterback hits. But his biggest impact didn’t appear in the box score: He helped preserve one goal-line stand by clogging the middle while a teammate recorded a sack and he preserved another by blowing up a shovel pass that was intercepted.

It’s an example of why the Rams (1-2) have made Donald the league’s highest-paid tackle.

Sunday’s game, though, pits Donald against one of the league’s top defensive tackle tandems — two-time Pro Bowler DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart, who Colts coaches often insist has played at a Pro Bowl level the past two seasons. Together, they’ve formed a combination that has given the Colts a significant boost.

Indy leads the league in forced fumbles (seven) and strip sacks (five) and is tied for second in fumble recoveries (four) and sacks (12), and Buckner and Stewart have held up well enough against offensive linemen to free linebacker Zaire Franklin to make a league-leading 45 tackles.
