Social Media Reacts to 1st Rams Preseason Game

Blake Corum ran for two touchdowns and Stetson Bennett recorded a pair of touchdown passes to lead the Rams to a 31-21 preseason win over Dallas Saturday night at SoFi Stadium. Here’s how the game unfolded through the lens of social media.

After the game, head coach Sean McVay provided another positive update on Matthew Stafford. In his road back from an aggravated disc in his back, Stafford completed a solid workout prior to Saturday's game. As a result, the NFL's biggest storyline will see Stafford get his first preseason practice reps on Monday.

Los Angeles loved what it saw from Bennett, who led the Rams to points on five of his eight drives before running out the clock in the fourth quarter. He finished 16 of 24 for 188 yards, two touchdowns, one interception and a 100.7 passer rating. Other highlights included...

I think I've seen enough. The Rams will be winning the Super Bowl.

Love seeing this from Blake Corum. He should settle in as the RB2 for the Rams behind Kyren Williams this year. I know McVay tends to give 90% of the carries to one guy, but I can see them splitting closer to 70-30 this season to preserve Kyren.

Blake Corum in for the @RamsNFL TD!

McVay on broadcast about Matthew Stafford's workout today: "It was great. He looked awesome. He was able to activate all parts of the field. He looked strong, he looked sturdy. It was a very good step in the right direction and he looked like the guy we're accustomed to seeing"

Rookie ILB Pooh Paul Jr. has been wearing the green dot (on-field signal caller/relaying calls from DC) for the Rams' defense. Imagine it has to do partly with ILBs coach Greg Williams calling the plays, but also says a lot about the trust Williams has in Paul to have that role.

Couple of second-year Rams who aren't dressed for the preseason opener: WR Jordan Whittington and DT Tyler Davis. Good indication of the roles the Rams have in store for them this year.
