Her shoutout to Bennett wasn’t just about the score. It was also an acknowledgment of how he held his cool under pressure. In fact, Bennett’s calmness is always respected, especially in a high-stakes moment like this one.
In fact, Rams head coach Sean McVay, known for his infectious energy and passion for the game, couldn’t hide his excitement after Bennett’s big play.
Bennett might be playing in Stafford’s shadow right now, but he’s already proving that he’s more than just a backup.
And with the Rams’ season shaping up to be full of surprises, you can bet everyone, including Kelly Stafford will be watching closely to see what Bennett does next.
But as of yesterday, Kelly and her daughters were there to witness Mathew’s return to the pitch!
