- Stetson Bennett makes a comeback for the Los Angeles Rams after a two-year absence.
- Head coach Sean McVay expresses his backing for Bennett's return with the team.
- McVay's support signals a positive outlook for Bennett's future with the organization.
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has expressed his support for quarterback Stetson Bennett following a challenging performance in his first game back after a year-long absence. Despite throwing four interceptions against the Dallas Cowboys, Bennett showcased his resilience by ultimately delivering the winning touchdown, positioning himself as a contender for the Rams' backup quarterback role alongside Jimmy Garoppolo. Bennett, a former Georgia star and two-time national champion, is working to solidify his place on the team after spending his rookie year on the reserve/non-football illness list due to mental health issues. McVay praised Bennett's tenacity, noting that while there were areas for improvement, particularly in decision-making, the quarterback effectively managed the offense and kept the team moving down the field. With Garoppolo facing a two-game suspension, Bennett recognizes the importance of stepping up in the early part of the season. He emphasized his goal of minimizing mental errors and executing the offense correctly, despite acknowledging some lapses during the game. His determination to lead the team to victory was evident as he focused on getting the ball into the end zone. Reflecting on his journey, Bennett expressed gratitude to Rams general manager Les Snead and Coach McVay for their support during his time away from the team. His return marks a significant step in his career, as he aims to overcome past challenges and contribute to the Rams' success this season.
