Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay liked what he saw from rookie quarterback Stetson Bennett during Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in both teams' preseason opener.
"I thought he did a nice job," McVay told reporters. "There were some tough situations there, and you could see the athleticism where he escaped."
Bennett finished 17-of-29 for 191 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions during the defeat, although he just missed throwing multiple picks during the contest. To his credit, he wasted little time making an impression and directed a lengthy 16-play, 75-yard touchdown drive on his first possession.
