When the Los Angeles Rams face the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday, the game will feature a combined six Defensive Player of the Year awards. But it wasn’t until last October that Aaron Donald and J.J. Watt played in the same game for the first time.
Watt won the first meeting, a 37-10 Cardinals victory. Donald got revenge in the playoffs, a 34-11 win for the future Super Bowl champions.
So far in those two games, the pair of future Hall of Fame pass rushers have combined for a half of one sack: Donald got to Kyler Murray in the playoffs.
