Aaron Donald is not your average defensive tackle, and it’s why he’s destined for the Hall of Fame after he retires from the NFL. He once again showed his incredible ability on Sunday night against the Cowboys, dominating on a number of plays.
He finished with four tackles, one sack and four quarterback hits, but he may not have had a better play than his bull rush that took out two Cowboys linemen at once. Donald rushed straight at the center Joe Looney, casually tossing him into right guard Zack Martin and sending both players off their feet.
He didn’t get the sack, but Donald nearly got to Dak Prescott for the takedown before the quarterback got rid of the ball. Take a look (it’s the second clip in the video below, though the first is equally impressive).

As it’s often said, Donald is just not fair. The Cowboys had few answers for the two-time Defensive Player of the Year, as is typically the case for opposing linemen.
