The Rams stole a preseason victory from the Chargers in Week 2, 23-22, with a clutch, last-minute drive orchestrated by quarterback Stetson Bennett IV. It was the second-straight victory for L.A. and came courtesy of several standout performances.
Here are five interesting stats from the win:
The Rams' win probability was as low as 4% in the final minute of the game, according to ESPN
With 19 seconds remaining and the Rams down five points, there was a fourth-and-10 on the opposing 48-yard line coming up. The Chargers had a 96% chance to win the game. Then, Bennett pulled off the improbable, heaving a 40-yard pass to wide receiver Brennan Presley, who elevated to make the catch while draped by two defenders.
On the next play, Bennett connected with wide receiver Tru Edwards for an eight-yard score with five seconds remaining. The two-point try was unsuccessful, but the Rams came out with a seemingly impossible victory.
Presley's 102 reception yards were the most by any player in a 2025 preseason game
Presley's six catches for 102 yards surpassed every other preseason receiving performance thus far in 2025. His long of 40 came in clutch for a Rams team that was down to their final play if the pass fell incomplete, and kept their incredible comeback drive alive. Presley also had gains of 26 and 22 yards, respectively, earlier in the game.
Bennett stays calm in the face of pressure, completing 7 passes on 10 dropbacks
Bennett actually registered a higher passer rating when pressured (149.1) than when not pressured (97.0), according to Pro Football Focus (PFF). He completed seven of nine passes for 98 yards and a touchdown, taking one sack, exhibiting the sort of growth that the Rams have been praising him for all offseason by delivering in a hostile environment.
Outside linebacker Brennan Jackson secures first two career sacks
Jackson played the most defensive snaps of anyone on the Rams with 42, according to PFF, and he didn't disappoint. Jackson's two sacks served as the first two of his NFL career. One came on starting quarterback Justin Herbert during the opening drive, and the other pushed the Chargers out of the red zone and eventually yielded a field goal try.
Cornerback A.J. Green impresses in coverage with two pass breakups
Green was targeted five times on 13 coverage snaps. He allowed just one catch for three yards, according to PFF, and broke up two of those incompletions.
