Key Points:

• Rams rookie quarterback Ty Simpson impressed in his NFL debut, completing 21 of 25 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns in a 20-12 preseason win over the Kansas City Chiefs, showing poise and comfort on the field.
• Fourth-year pro Stetson Bennett started the game, leading a field-goal drive before Simpson took over, with coach Sean McVay praising both quarterbacks and indicating that the backup position remains under evaluation.
• Offensive lineman Keagen Trost exited early with a hamstring injury, raising concerns about the Rams’ offensive line depth, while receiver Mario Williams also sustained a hamstring injury during the game.
• Tight end Max Klare emerged as a reliable target, catching seven of eight passes for 37 yards, highlighting his potential role in a crowded receiver group.
• The Rams' defense limited the Chiefs to field goals, with notable performances including sacks by Desjuan Johnson and rookie Tim Keenan, while kicker Harrison Mevis successfully made two field goals in his first game under new special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone.
