In my 37 years of watching football, I will always say there will never be another LT. But this game Donald looked like LT for 1 game. I have never even made a comparison to LT with any player in 37 years until now. There was a game against the eagles when Buddy Ryan put a bounty on LT ( you can KZbin it). It ended with the QB hobbling injured off the field. That Burrow push out of bounds and the attack on Donald afterward reminded me of the bounty eagles/giants game. Very similar of the 2 players LT and Donald response.
