Inglewood, Calif. — Stetson Bennett rebounded from throwing a fourth-quarter interception to 305-pound defensive tackle TeRah Edwards, hitting Tru Edwards with an 8-yard touchdown pass with 5 seconds left while leading the Los Angeles Rams to a 23-22 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday night.
Bennett passed for 324 yards and three scores in his second straight sharp preseason performance — even if he failed to anticipate the ball-hawking skill and silky lateral movement of the hulking Edwards, who never had an interception in five seasons split between Northwestern and Illinois.
Justin Herbert went 2 of 5 for 46 yards while playing the opening series in his first-ever preseason game for the Chargers (2-1), who were the visiting team at the clubs’ shared stadium.
Former Jayhawk Luke Grimm returned a punt 66 yards for the Bolts’ go-ahead touchdown with 12:36 left. Grimm, an undrafted rookie receiver who only returned five punts in five seasons at Kansas, broke through the Rams’ coverage unit and got down the Chargers’ sideline for the score.
Trey Lance passed for 121 yards, and second-round pick Tre Harris had six catches for 85 yards.

Giants 31, Jets 12
East Rutherford, N.J. — Getting snaps with the first-team offense, then throwing for a touchdown and running for another with the backups, Jaxson Dart shined in his new home stadium debut for the New York Giants as part of a 31-12 victory against the Jets on Saturday night in each team’s second preseason game.
Dart was 14 of 16 for 137 yards, delivering on the hype under the lights at MetLife Stadium before giving way to Jameis Winston.
Russell Wilson had his own highlight, throwing his so-called “moon ball” to undrafted free agent Beaux Collins for an 80-yard gain. The 36-year-old had another intercepted because of a miscommunication with Collins, his final throw of a 4 of 7, 108-yard performance.
While the Giants (2-0) got clicking, questions remain on offense for Justin Fields and the Jets (1-1). He left after two run-heavy series, 1 of 5 for 4 yards, with Nick Folk’s 38-yard field goal the only points the starters got on the board.
Fields and the Jets’ passing offense have mostly struggled to produce consistently in training camp, but first-year coach Aaron Glenn has insisted that Fields is developing nicely and doing all that has been asked of him.
Former Jayhawk Quentin Skinner made four receptions for 48 yards for the Jets, including a 4-yard touchdown pass from Brady Cook.
Packers 23, Colts 19
Indianapolis — Anthony Richardson completed six of his first eight passes, leading the Indianapolis Colts to a touchdown on his first series before the Green Bay Packers rallied late for a victory in the preseason.
Quarterback Sean Clifford scored on an 11-yard run with 1:31 left to put the Packers ahead.
Former Jayhawk Jason Bean then took the Colts to the Green Bay 31-yard line in the final minute before the rally fell short.
While Clifford finished strong, Richardson started fast. He played nearly the entire second quarter and capped Indy’s best drive of the preseason with Tyler Goodson’s 3-yard TD run. Richardson also took advantage of a fumble recovery to set up the second of Spencer Shrader’s four field goals.
The Packers’ only first-half score came on a 43-yard field goal to end the second quarter. They cut the deficit to 13-10 on Israel Abanikanda’s 3-yard TD run in the third quarter, tied the score at 16 on Amar Johnson’s 9-yard scoring run. Green Bay missed the extra point. Clifford’s scoring run gave Green Bay its only lead.
Bean completed 3 of 7 passes for a total of 37 yards.
