ATLANTA (AP) — Practically every member of the Los Angeles Rams has a favorite story about Aaron Donald’s feats of ridiculous athleticism.Michael Brockers loved the moment at Carolina in 2016 when Donald beat the Panthers‘ left guard and launched himself like Superman John Kelly Jersey , swallowing up Cam Newton while airborne.Nickell Robey-Coleman preferred the game at San Francisco this season when Donald shredded a double-team and sacked C.J. Beathard — not by grabbing him, but by shoving the 49ers‘ center into his own quarterback.“Aaron can do things you didn’t know were possible,” said Rams defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, no stranger to improbable feats himself.Donald is the NFL’s current sacks champion, the only unanimous All-Pro and a probable two-time league Defensive Player of the Year. But Los Angeles’ powerful defensive tackle has one more daunting task in the Super Bowl.Donald and the Rams must figure out how to pressure Tom Brady, who completely stumped the New England Patriots‘ first two playoff opponents.The Chargers and Chiefs never sacked the 41-year-old superstar while he sat comfortably behind his stellar offensive line and picked apart their defenses for 691 yards passing, completing 71.1 percent of his throws.Donald, who set an NFL record for sacks by an interior lineman with 20½ this season, believes Los Angeles (15-3) can do what the Chargers and Chiefs couldn’t.“We’ll get to him, but we have to stay patient and don’t get frustrated,” Donald said. “We’ve got a great secondary that will do its job and make sure he doesn’t have easy throws. If he has to hold onto the ball, we’ll have our chances. We just have to go get him.”The Rams have been assembling the tools for this job all year long.In the spring, they signed the imposing Suh to a $14 million deal. They also acquired Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters, two elite cornerbacks who can create chances for their pass rush.They gave a six-year, $135 million contract extension to Donald in late August, making their best player happy after two offseason holdouts. He responded with the best season of his stellar career.Los Angeles then acquired edge rusher Dante Fowler from Jacksonville in late October, adding a speedy outside pass-rushing threat to a roster that lacked it. Fowler has 1½sacks and six quarterback hits in the Rams’ past four games — including the biggest hit of LA’s season, forcing Drew Brees‘ overtime interception in the NFC championship game.Fowler never became a superstar with the Jaguars, but he loves being a role player for LA.“I knew I was going to fit in with this defense because of A.D. and Suh,” Fowler said. “They make it easy for everybody else on the defense. They cause so many problems.”Donald John Franklin-Myers Jersey , Suh and Brockers are a formidable defensive line, and their teamwork has improved each month. Although Donald doesn’t have a sack in the Rams’ two postseason games, he draws double-teams that free up Suh, who has 1½ sacks and four quarterback hits in an outstanding postseason.Even if Donald and Suh win their individual matchups on the line, Brady’s quick decisions and swift release make him awfully difficult for anyone to touch. He was sacked just 21 times in the regular season.Although the Chiefs tied for the NFL lead with 52 sacks in the regular season, they hit Brady just once and never sacked him in the AFC title game. A week earlier, the Chargers’ dynamic pass-rushing duo of Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa never got to him.Even if the Rams can’t sack Brady, they must attempt to get him moving before his receivers’ routes develop. That’s an area in which Donald specializes: Although he faces more double-teams than just about any defensive player, he consistently penetrates the opponents’ backfield regardless.“There’s nothing he can’t do in regards to disrupting a game,” Rams coach Sean McVay said.When Brady doesn’t face quick pressure, he is typically able to lacerate opposing defenses with short passes. Just ask the Chargers and Chiefs.“That’s crazy,” Brockers said when told about Brady’s sack-free postseason. “He’s the G.O.A.T., but he’s just another quarterback. He’s going to try to avoid the pressure. It’s our job as D-linemen to get to him, so we’re putting the pressure on ourselves to try to influence him and try to get him off his spot.”The Rams believe they have the players for the job, and they also might have the scheme.Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips’ 3-4 defense stopped Brady in the 2015 AFC title game. Phillips’ Broncos — including Talib — hit Brady 17 times and made him miserable while going 27 of 56 in the Patriots’ 20-18 loss.Fowler has studied video of that game for years now. He would love to play the role of Von Miller, who got 2½ sacks and an interception.Phillips isn’t getting into any specifics of the Rams’ plan against Brady, camouflaging his sharp mind behind his usual geniality.“Unfortunately for me, I get older, but Tom Brady doesn’t,” the 71-year-old Phillips said. “You don’t stop great offenses. You just try to slow them down.” THOUSAND OAKS Brian Allen Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Marcus Peters was in Amari Cooper’s face from the Cowboys‘ opening drive until the postgame handshakes, where the Los Angeles Rams cornerback gave one last shove to the Dallas receiver.Peters didn’t win all of his matchups with Cooper. In fact, his unnecessary roughness penalty from his first scrap with Cooper led directly to Dallas’ first touchdown in the clubs’ divisional playoff game Saturday night.But for better or worse, Peters also exemplified his team’s determination not to be pushed around by anyone — and sometimes, they’ll even start the fights.With their 30-22 victory over the Cowboys, the Rams (14-3) are headed to the NFC championship game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday with an incendiary attitude and renewed proof of their toughness on both sides of the ball.“Our sense of focus and the sense of urgency have gone up tremendously,” guard Rodger Saffold said at the team’s training complex Sunday while the Rams waited to find out who they would play.The Rams have built a reputation for cerebral, clever play during two seasons of coach Sean McVay’s influential offensive schemes. But one big difference between last season’s team, which lost its first playoff game, and this season’s NFC championship-bound squad is the Rams’ provocative new defensive players, led by Peters and fellow cornerback Aqib Talib, along with a team-wide embrace of physical, disruptive play.The Rams know they’ll have to be tough again when they visit New Orleans for the third time this season, counting a preseason trip to the Big Easy. Los Angeles took its first loss of the year at the Superdome on Nov. 4, falling 45-35.“I think we match up really well (with the Saints),” Saffold said. “I think we’ll have a better plan against them on the second go-round.”The Rams also will have Talib, who was out with an injury when Los Angeles native Michael Thomas made 12 catches for 211 yards as the Saints ran wild in the Rams’ secondary.“The Saints have a highly controlled game plan,” Rams edge rusher Dante Fowler said. “They’ve got everything down pat, and they’re going to execute it. You’ve just got to try your best to stop it. They’ve got great offensive linemen and a Hall of Fame quarterback and a two-headed monster in the backfield, and Michael Thomas is a great receiver. We’ve just got to come with it.”The Rams are respectfully confident heading into the chance to play for a Super Bowl berth — but these Rams also have an attitude Joseph Noteboom Jersey , and it’s taking them far.At about the same time Peters and Cooper were shoving each other instead of shaking hands, Talib interrupted Jared Goff’s postgame interview with a joyous expletive on live television.Extracurricular exploits aside, the Rams are in their first NFC title game in 17 years because of their physical attitude in the way they manhandled the Cowboys on both sides of the line. Dallas entered the Coliseum with one of the NFL’s top rushing defenses along with their own powerful rushing offense led by NFL rushing champion Ezekiel Elliott, yet the Rams dominated on the ground.Los Angeles’ rushing offense was historically good, with C.J. Anderson and Todd Gurley both topping 100 yards rushing on the way to a franchise-record 273. Both backs gave the credit to their offensive line, which led the Rams to average a whopping 5.7 yards per carry.The Rams’ defense spent most of the first half on the sideline watching as their offensive line carved chunks out of the Dallas defense. Fowler could only smile when left tackle Andrew Whitworth led the blocking for Gurley’s 35-yard touchdown run.“They played very physical, lights out,” Fowler said. “The intensity that Whitworth brought, that set the tone. Especially with that touchdown that Gurley had, I think that was the real tone-setter. That was the difference in the game. If you really look at the play, the block that Whitworth made for the touchdown, that set the tone. That’s when I knew we were going to win the game.”When the Rams’ defense finally got on the field, they showed toughness of their own. Elliott managed just 47 yards on 20 carries, acknowledging afterward that the Rams “dominated us up front.”The Rams’ offensive line has been respected as one of the NFL’s best for the past two years while Gurley reigned as one of the NFL’s top running backs, yet the five linemen relished another chance to show what they could do on their biggest stage yet.“The coaches saying they would just put it on our back and let us do our thing, that gave us a huge confidence boost and that shared sense of responsibility to just go out there and work a little bit harder on this one,” Saffold said.
