Stetson Bennett overcame four interceptions to lead the Rams to a 13-12 victory over the Cowboys in a preseason opener, with a game-winning touchdown pass in the final seconds.
Bennett, who was sidelined last season to address his mental health, completed 24 of 38 passes for 224 yards, showing resilience in the final moments.
On the Rams' last drive, Bennett was nearly perfect, completing 8 of 9 passes for 61 yards, including a critical 6-yard touchdown to Miller Forristall.
The Rams' victory was sealed after a potential fifth interception by Bennett was nullified by a holding penalty on Dallas.
Rams head coach Sean McVay praised Bennett's poise and wide receiver Jordan Whittington's six-catch, 74-yard performance.
Cowboys quarterback Trey Lance, in his debut, passed for 188 yards but struggled to find the end zone, leading Dallas to settle for four field goals.
Kicker Joshua Karty kept the Rams in the game with two field goals, while Brandon Aubrey’s four field goals accounted for all of Dallas’ points.
The Rams will face the Chargers next, while the Cowboys head to Las Vegas for their next preseason matchup.
