Aaron Donald was all smiles after the Los Angeles Rams' win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon. He was happy his team won, but he also had the look of a guy who finally got to play alongside his future Hall of Fame teammate.
Garrett recorded three sacks and a forced fumble in his return from missing the last seven games while on injured reserve, looking like the dominant player the Rams knew they were acquiring in that blockbuster trade. He also looked like the guy who piqued Donald's interest in football again, prompting him to end his retirement.
Donald's postgame interview in the locker room was hilarious, as the three-time Defensive Player of the Year was cracking jokes and laughing like crazy.
"I did, man!" Donald said excitedly
when asked if he got some one-on-ones Sunday. "I got close. Every time I got close, they got the ball out. I'm like, 'Damn, they don't want me to have a damn sack.' But it's all good. As long as we win, I'm good, man. But my ops were there. I had some good rushes, some clean wins but every time I got close, he got the ball out. But it's all good. We got a good win, though."

Donald is still searching for his first sack of the season, which makes his comments even funnier because he was so close a few times. And though he still doesn't have one yet, he joked that a couple of Garrett's sacks were "our sacks" because he collapsed the pocket and helped his teammate out.
"I pushed it, yeah. So, like, two of his sacks are like our sacks," he joked. "You know? Those are like our sacks."
Donald has always been happy after wins, but he was in an especially excited mood following Sunday's victory. Probably because he knows how many one-on-ones are coming his way the rest of the year.
