Call Him 'The Land Man': Rams LB Nate Landman Wins Tom Brady's LFG Player of the Game

Nate Landman dominated the wet, windy Rams-Ravens game with 17 tackles (Tom Brady's LFG Player of the Game) — the most by a Rams player since 2000.
His goal-line stand to end the first half and a tackle that helped force a Zay Flowers fumble swung momentum and helped the Rams pull away in a 17-3 win.
Landman credits a rugby upbringing (his dad is from Zimbabwe) for his tackling style — teammates now dub him "The Land Man."
