The New Saints were shut out 34-0 by the Los Angeles Rams in preseason play, with Stetson Bennett leading four scoring drives and rushing for two touchdowns. Bennett, who played the entire first half, completed 19 of 31 passes for 181 yards and used his legs as a weapon, leading the Rams to a dominant victory. The Rams' defense was also impressive, holding the Saints to just 68 yards in the first half. The Saints' offense struggled to find rhythm, with quarterback Ty Simpson completing just 8 of 12 passes for 73 yards in limited second-half action. The Rams' win was a strong statement ahead of the season, with the team looking to make a deep run in the Super Bowl. The Saints, on the other hand, will look to regroup and improve their performance in the coming weeks.
