  "account": "Aaron Donald made his return to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night, ending his two-year retirement. The Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Famer returned to play for the revamped Rams, who are pursuing their third championship. Donald, known for his strict post-playing workout regimen and rest, was immediately effective, shutting down the New York Giants' running backs with All-Pro efficiency. According to Pro Football Focus, Donald had the best win rate among defensive interior players for rush attempts this season, with a 27.8% success rate (minimum 15 rush snaps). His presence on the field transformed the Rams' defense, allowing them to control the game, while the Giants had to double and triple-team Donald to mitigate his impact.",
  "summary": "Aaron Donald already has the highest pass-rush win rate of any defensive tackle in the league this season.",
