Aaron Donald named NFC Defensive Player of the Week
By: Cameron DaSilva

After seeing Aaron Donald absolutely wreck the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, this is probably the least surprising news of the day. The NFL announced on Wednesday that Donald has been named NFC Defensive Player of the Week following his four-sack performance against San Francisco.

Donald proved to be an unstoppable force on Sunday afternoon, sacking C.J. Beathard four times, recording six tackles for loss and nine total tackles. He also had another quarterback hit in addition to those five sacks, forced a fumble and recovered it after ripping the ball from Matt Breida’s arms.

The 49ers had no answer for him as he doubled his sack total for the season. Donald now ranks first in the NFL with eight sacks and is just three shy of his 2017 mark, which helped him earn Defensive Player of the Year honors.

This is the fourth time Donald has won Defensive Player of the Week, but just the first time since 2016. In five of the first seven weeks this season, a member of the Rams has won Player of the Week. Todd Gurley won it most recently in Week 6 for his 208-yard game against Denver.

...and if Sean McVay was the insecure bitch that Andy Reid was, he would have given Gurley another 10 carries and 4-5 passing targets and padded his stats enough to take the offensive award for the week.

Instead, he played the long game, inserting Brown in there, and Mannion in there, and throttled back our machine as a show of respect for his buddy Shanahan. But Sean never “pours it on” anyway. Take the win. Keep guys healthy.

Live to destroy another team.

“Chill”? @Robert ? Did you misunderstand something I said? Or accidentally hit that button?

That's why I wish the chill, inappropriate and disagree (or whater they are) would go away...They're either inadvertent or at best irritating to the op..

People just take them too seriously when they get them. I love you guys but I don't remotely care if one of you doesn't like what I have to say for whatever reason.

Gave ya' a "chill" my fellow Scotsman, just for good measure. Like a punch in the eye then buying you a pint.

So glad we have him locked up, he's not the kind of guy that will let the contract ruin his play.

I agree with you, he has a lot of pride and feeling about his performance. It shows.

This was another of a long list of hits by Snead.
