Key Things to Know and Players to Watch

The Rams are looking to recapture their Super Bowl success. On offense, the team is led by Matthew Stafford at quarterback. The veteran has found late-career success taking advantage of a fantastic suite of offensive weapons in Tyler Higbee, Cooper Kupp, and Cam Akers. The team won’t be a dominant force, but with brilliant coach Sean McVay at the helm, they will always find a way to put up a fight.

A major storyline could be the emergence of rookie quarterback Stetson Bennett. It’s not likely he’ll earn the starting job over Stafford, but injuries are always a factor in the NFL. There could come a time when Bennett gets some reps under center and that will be an exciting thing to see.
