The Los Angeles Rams won their second straight preseason game on Saturday night when they stunned the Los Angeles Chargers, 23-22. Stetson Bennett led the Rams on a game-winning drive in the final minute, which he capped off with a touchdown pass with 5 seconds left on the clock.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston suffered a concussion on a hard hit from a Los Angeles Rams defensive back on Saturday.
Brennan Jackson had two sacks and Desjuan Johnson paved the way for them. The Chargers, built to run the football, averaged 3.6 yards per carry. Take away quarterbacks Trey Lance and Taylor Heinicke, the Chargers averaged 2.3 yards per carry.
Trey Lance had an impressive throw to Tre Harris in the third quarter of the Chargers' preseason matchup against the Rams on Saturday.

Harbaugh suffered his first loss of the 2025 preseason on Saturday when the Los Angeles Rams took down the Chargers, 23-22, and the Rams capitalized on the opportunity to troll the former National Champion coach of the Wolverines.
