DENVER -- Aaron Donald was itching to return to the field and prove that the Los Angeles Rams defense was capable of adjusting.
Days after the star defensive tackle said that the Rams' run defense was better than it demonstrated the previous two weeks, the unit held the Broncos to a season-low 60 yards rushing in a 23-20 victory inside a chilly Broncos Stadium at Mile High on Sunday.
"We just filled the gaps and played how we play," Donald said after the game. "We were really playing sound football and we showed up."
Over the previous two weeks, in victories over the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks, the Rams' run defense was plagued by players abandoning their assignments in an effort to make stops.
