Rams' Stetson Bennett's 4 INTs vs. Cowboys in NFL Preseason Criticized by Fans

Stetson Bennett's preseason debut featured some solid play but also numerous turnovers.

The 2023 fourth-round pick returned to game action on Sunday for the first time since the 2023 preseason, throwing four interceptions on the day:

He did, however, lead the Rams to a go-ahead touchdown in the final seconds:

He finished the day 24-of-38 for 224 yards and the touchdown to go along with the turnovers. While it could simply be a matter of him shaking off some rust from his absence, it also is a continuation of a trend from the 2023 preseason.

Bennett had thrown three interceptions across three games in that preseason. He only tossed a single touchdown during that stretch.

Fans took to social media to debate Bennett's viability as a true option and wonder if the Rams will sign another backup quarterback.

The Rams will hope that Bennett can quickly fix the turnover issue and become a true backup option for starter Matt Stafford.

Bennett saw significant success during his collegiate career at Georgia, compiling an overall record of 29-3 and leading the program to national championships in 2022 and 2023.

He did not have a huge turnover problem in college, tossing just seven in both 2022 and 2023, but his transition to the NFL has been a bit tougher. He still has a few more preseason opportunities to make his case, but he will need to show vast improvement in order to earn his role as the primary backup.
