Morning Ram-blings: Monday game balls
By Nick Wagoner

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- It's a Monday morning and only the second "Victory Monday" of the season for the St. Louis Rams after their surprising 28-26 win Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

The victory was only the third in the past 19 tries against Seattle and the first time the Rams have scored more than 20 points against the Seahawks in the past 15 meetings.

In a rare occurrence, I had plenty of choices for my game ball Sunday afternoon, not least of which included special teamers like coach John Fassel, Stedman Bailey, Benny Cunningham, Johnny Hekker and more.

But because I couldn't choose from that group, I went with rookie defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Donald had five tackles, three for loss, a sack and two quarterback hits. He's already one of the best defensive players on the Rams and only getting better.

Elsewhere, you can catch up like always on who else made an impact around the league Sunday as our ESPN NFL Nation hands out game balls for all of Sunday's action.
