Rob Havenstein: Ty Simpson's Debut Was About as Good as It Gets

Erin Coscarelli and Rob Havenstein talk big rob's first game in the booth!
The Rams opened their 2026 preseason with a 20-12 win over the Chiefs at Arrowhead, but it was rookie first-rounder Ty Simpson who stole it — going 21-of-25 for 190 yards and two touchdowns to Dean Connors in relief work, looking every bit the part Sean McVay hoped for when he drafted him. Havenstein breaks down what stood out about Simpson's poise against mostly third- and fourth-string competition, plus a look at Stetson Bennett's limited but efficient 4-of-6, 36-yard showing as he continues fighting for QB2.
