Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett has had an outstanding preseason and leads the NFL in four different statistics this preseason
Stetson Bennett repped his school with the T-shirt he wore into SoFi Stadium. Then he led the Los Angeles Rams to a dramatic preseason victory.
Bennett actually registered a higher passer rating when pressured (149.1) than when not pressured (97.0), according to Pro Football Focus (PFF). He completed seven of nine passes for 98 yards and a touchdown, taking one sack, exhibiting the sort of growth that the Rams have been praising him for all offseason by delivering in a hostile environment.
Los Angeles Rams assistant head coach Aubrey Pleasant spoke about his young quarterback's growth after a last-second victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Matthew Stafford was present at Rams practice for the first time on Monday, a positive sign for the veteran quarterback.
In addition to the pair of fourth-down conversions on the game-winning series – one of which featured a 40-yard heave to Presley that put the Rams at the Chargers 8-yard line – there was overcoming a near-fumble the play before the completion to Presley. Officials overturned that call upon further review and ruled it an incompletion.
If the Rams defense gave up a first down, the game would be over. The defense stood up. After tackling Sanders for a loss, the Chargers went to the air. A tipped pass and an incomplete gave Bennett the ball with two timeouts to win it.
