Aaron Donald broke down in tears after winning the Super Bowl in what might have been his final game

• The Los Angeles Rams are Super Bowl champions.
• Defensive tackle Aaron Donald made the game-sealing play, sacking Joe Burrow to effectively end the game.

Aaron Donald is a Super Bowl champion.

After years as the most dominant defender in the NFL, Donald finally added a Super Bowl ring to his collection as the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl LVI.

Donald wound up making the decisive play of the game, twirling Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow to the ground to force an errant pass on fourth down with just seconds left in the game to give the Rams the win.

After the game, NBC's Michele Tafoya found Donald on the field as the confetti fell.

Filled with emotion, Donald fought back tears as he watched the scene unfold after what might have been his final career game.

"I'm just so happy," Donald said. "I wanted this so bad. I dreamed this man. I dreamed this. This is surreal. Look at this! I feel amazing man. I feel amazing. I feel great.

"It's the best feeling in the world. God is great. God is great. I don't know what to say. This is a blessing."

Donald has been a game-breaker years, and over the past five years, has had more impact on the league than any other defender, winning Defensive Player of the Year three times in that span.

Now finally has a Super Bowl ring to go along with all of his other trophies.

Just before the Super Bowl, NBC's Rodney Harrison reported that Donald may consider retirement if the Rams won the game.

"He's big on legacy," Harrison said during the pre-game broadcast. "He doesn't want to be known as a defender that accomplished so many individual things and never won a Super Bowl. But he also told me this: If he wins a Super Bowl, there's a strong possibility he could walk away from the game and retire."

Donald didn't address the question in his post-game interview on the field, but whenever he does decide to hang up his cleats, be it this year or years in the future, he will leave the game as a Super Bowl champion.
