One Photo From Rams-Ravens Game Shows Just How Hard It Is to Stop Aaron Donald

Aaron Donald is one of the most unstoppable forces in the NFL. 

Fans of the sport realized that long ago as they watched the Rams star strike fear into opposing quarterbacks while wrecking opposing offensive lines en route to three Defensive Player of the Year awards, seven All-Pro selections and a Super Bowl title in his 10 seasons in the league. 

But one absurd photo from the Rams-Ravens Week 14 clash on Sunday actually shows just how hard it is to stop Donald. On one play, the Ravens needed not one, not two, but three offensive linemen to account for the Rams defensive tackle. Check out the picture, courtesy of Bleacher Report Gridiron on X, formerly Twitter. 

It's not uncommon for a dominant defensive player to have to deal with double teams. But triple teams? There might be no other player in the NFL who commands as much attention as Donald does on any given play. 

Heck, the Ravens only had two other linemen to block any other Rams defenders on this play. Now, that is some serious respect for Donald's abilities as a player.
