INGLEWOOD -- Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald had one lasting memory of Super Bowl LIII against the New England Patriots.
"We lost," Donald said before an impending rematch.
That loss has fueled Donald and the Rams for the last 22 months and on Thursday Night Football, Donald got the small amount of payback he sought as the Rams shut down the Patriots, 24-3, at SoFi Stadium.
The lop-sided win avenges some of the embarrassment felt on that disappointing February day in 2019, when the Rams' high-powered offense mustered only three points against Bill Belichick and Tom Brady in a 13-3 defeat.
