When the Los Angeles Rams acquired Jalen Ramsey via trade in 2019 the hope was that he, one of the best defensive players in the National Football League would combine with ‘the’ best defensive player in the league, Aaron Donald to create a formidable unit. In 2020, the hope came to fruition when the Rams defense was the number one ranked defense across all major categories.
This season, under new coordinator Raheem Morris, the defense has hit highs and lows, but the highlights include two plays that Donald and Ramsey literally combined for game changing plays.
