Quinn Meinerz did it again.
One week after he went viral for a pancake block against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Denver Broncos' All-Pro right guard had another viral moment during a Sunday Night Football showdown with the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3.
Meinerz got the best of three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald, picking him up and slamming him to the ground in a play that has been shared across social media. Granted, Donald was knocked off balance, but it was still an impressive display of strength from Meinerz, and it wasn't his only big win of the night.

Meinerz did not allow a single pressure on the night, according to NFL Next Gen Stats, including eight one-on-one reps against Donald.

In what may or may not have been a coincidence, the star guard was tested by the NFL for performance-enhancing substances following a 30-26 comeback win.

The big block against Donald wasn't Meinerz's only moment that drew love from Broncos fans on Sunday evening. After wide receiver Jaylen Waddle scored on a two-point conversion, Meinerz celebrated with the receiver's signature penguin waddle:

A two-time first-team All-Pro, Meinerz is widely considered one of the best guards in the NFL, and performances like last night will help make the case that Meinerz is the best interior offensive lineman in the league.
