Stetson Bennett IV throws 4 interceptions in preseason game, still leads game-winning drive
Published:
Stetson Bennett IV had a rough night at the office on Sunday, but ultimately came through in a big way.
The former Georgia standout threw 4 interceptions while playing in a preseason game for the Los Angeles Rams. However, Bennett was able to rebound in time to lead the Rams on a game-winning drive in the final seconds.
Here’s video of 3 of Bennett’s interceptions from earlier in the game:

Bennett also had another errant throw late in the 4th quarter that was picked off, but it was called back due to a defensive penalty.
Despite that adversity, Bennett found a way to snag the win. With just a few ticks left on the clock and facing a 4th and goal, he found tight end Miller Forristall with a beautiful side-arm toss:

That touchdown tied the game, and the Rams were able to take the lead on their ensuing extra point attempt. Bennett finished the game 24-of-38 for 224 yards, 4 interceptions and 1 game-winning touchdown pass.
With Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo inactive, Bennett got all the quarterback reps for the Rams on Sunday night. A former 4th-round pick, Bennett is presumably fighting for a roster spot as the franchise’s 3rd-string quarterback for the upcoming campaign.
Bennett is a couple of years removed from leading Georgia to back-to-back national championships. Bennett did not attempt a pass during his rookie year, as the Rams went with more experienced options in Brett Rypien and Carson Wentz in relief of Stafford last season.
Bennett, 26, will have another opportunity in Week 2 of preseason action when the Rams take on the Chargers. That game is slated for Saturday, Aug. 17.
