In another preseason game, quarterback Stetson Bennett IV redeemed himself from last week's challenging performance by demonstrating marked improvement. Completing 17 out of 31 passes for 213 yards, Bennett showcased resilience by throwing a touchdown pass and only one interception while also fumbling the ball once.

Coach Sean McVay, who had expressed the need to see a more extensive body of work from Bennett, evaluated his performance in order to determine his suitability as the primary backup to starting quarterback Matthew Stafford during Jimmy Garoppolo's two-game suspension. As Garoppolo is set to miss Week 1 against the Detroit Lions and Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, it becomes crucial to have a capable backup ready.

Following the recent 13-9 victory over the Chargers, Bennett was asked about the lessons he learned from last week's interception-laden ordeal. Reflecting on his experiences, Bennett advised, "If something doesn't feel right, it's probably not. And you don't have to force it. You don't have to make something happen that's not there." This valuable lesson demonstrates the growth in Bennett's decision-making abilities and further bolsters his chances of being one injury away from stepping into the role of starting quarterback during either of the first two regular-season games.

With a more composed and efficient performance under his belt, Bennett has shown significant progress and an increased understanding of the importance of making the right decisions on the field. As he continues to refine his skills, his prospects as the backup quarterback are looking brighter than ever.

As the preseason unfolds, it remains to be seen if Bennett's impressive display will solidify his place as the go-to backup for the Los Angeles Rams. However, one thing is certain: his resilience and determination make him a strong contender for the crucial role of supporting Matthew Stafford during Garoppolo's absence.
