Highlights & Takeaways From Rams’ Preseason Win Over Chargers

While the Rams led most of the game, things started to go south late as the Chargers returned a punt for a touchdown to regain the lead. Bennett then made his lone mistake of the night, a bad interception in the fourth quarter that had the Chargers in good shape to pick up a win.

The Rams’ defense stepped up with some big stops though, giving Bennett and the offense one last chance at a game-winning drive with less than two minutes to go.

As he did so many times at Georgia, Bennett stayed poised and began to lead the Rams down the field. That included two fourth down conversions, one of which was the play of the game when Bennett found Brennan Presley on a bomb down the center of the field to set the team up in the red zone.

With just a few seconds to play, Bennett then hit Tru Edwards in the end-zone for the game-winning touchdown to complete the comeback. Overall on the day, Bennett completed 28 of 40 passes for 324 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.

A number of the Rams’ young players flashed as Jarquez Hunter and Cody Schrader continued running the ball well while Presley, Mumpfield, Tru Edwards, Xavier Smith and Mario Edwards made some big plays through the air.

Brennan Jackson was the standout for the Rams on the other side of the ball, recording a pair of sacks as he looks to work his way into the edge rotation.

What’s next for the Rams

The Rams will wrap up the preseason by hitting the road for the first time, taking on the Cleveland Browns on Saturday at 10 a.m. PT. As usual, the Rams’ starters will not be suited up, and it remains to be seen if Stetson Bennett will even play after two solid outings so far.
