Saints offensive line settles down, don't allow Rams DT Aaron Donald to 'dictate the game'

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald appeared on the way to a big game Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

Donald had a solo tackle and quarterback hit in the first quarter, and then added a strip-sack of Drew Brees at the start of the second quarter that the Rams turned into a touchdown for a 14-7 lead.

"That play, man, that was on me," said Andrus Peat, who started at left guard before moving to left tackle when Terron Armstead left the game. "He beat me inside."

The 6-1, 285-pound Donald added a tackle on the Saints next possession, giving him three solo tackles, two quarterback hits and the sack before halftime.
