NFL Week 3, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider
By Dan Parzych
5. Donald sacks Mayfield three times
Similar to last season, Aaron Donald is taking his time when it comes to recording that first sack of 2019, although Sunday seems like the perfect opportunity to finally do so for the Los Angeles Rams.
No one needs to explain just how effective Donald is for the Rams when looking at all of the extra attention he receives from opponents, and the Browns are certainly going to have their hands full trying to protect Baker Mayfield on Sunday night.
As football fans remember well from last season, it took Donald a little bit of extra time to finally record that first sack before he would go on to finish with a career high (20.5). And even though it will be difficult to match those numbers, this isn’t going to stop Donald from at least trying.
Even though the Rams received a bit of a scare in their win over the New Orleans Saints when Donald was dealing with a back injury, the good news is this only seems to be minor.
Knowing Donald with his work ethic, the Rams star will look like his usual self when facing the Browns, and if he manages to get to Mayfield once, chances are he’s going to be extra motivated to do it again.
