The ‘Peanut Punch’ is as much a part of NFL legend as the onside kick or Hail Mary pass. And with veteran inside linebacker Nate Landman, the Los Angeles Rams are getting their own weaponized version of the play made famous by Charles Tillman. The former Bears star forced 44 fumbles in his career, and Landman, with seven in his first four seasons, is channeling that same disruptive energy.
Forcing fumbles is a huge momentum changer, as fans learned in Week 1. It only took one play for Landman to land a Peanut Punch to knock the football loose, ending the Texans' offensive drive and hopes for a comeback victory.
