You’re forgiven if you don’t think of defense when you think about the Rams’ late-November win over the Chiefs. Fourteen touchdowns and 105 points were scored that night, though that included three defensive scores—including this one, just inside the two-minute warning of the first half.
Aaron Donald was lined up against left guard Cam Erving, and the reigning Defensive Player of the Year used a stutter step to get around Erving’s outside shoulder. As Donald closed in on Patrick Mahomes, he extended his right arm to bat the football out of the QB’s hand. It dropped to the grass, bouncing around just outside the Chiefs’ 10-yard line.
