Los Angeles Rams defensive stars Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett will take the field together for the first time this season on Sunday when the team hosts the Washington Commanders. The pairing unites two of the NFL's most dominant pass rushers, whose combined career sack total reaches 236½.
Donald, a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, and Garrett, the 2023 award winner, have been preparing for this moment since Garrett joined the Rams in the offseason. Both players expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to collaborate on the defensive line.
"We're ready to have some fun," Garrett said, echoing the sentiment that has built anticipation around their partnership. The Rams' defensive scheme is expected to deploy the duo in various alignments to maximize pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
Sunday's matchup against the Commanders will serve as the first regular-season test of a combination that could reshape the NFC West defensive landscape. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday afternoon at SoFi Stadium.
