But he rebounded at the end of the fourth quarter, completing a six-yard touchdown pass to Miller Forristal with four seconds left.
Los Angeles went on to beat the Cowboys 13-12 in the preseason opener for the two squad.
After the game, Bennett spoke about his game of work.
“That was probably the weirdest game that I’ve been a part of. But I told myself today we’re gonna roll with the punches,” he told reporters, per ESPN .
“My goal was to not make any mental errors.
“It was basically to run the offense correctly.
“There were some lapses, obviously, but in the end it was get the ball in the end zone or you lose, and I think everybody fought to do it.”
Bennett made 24-of-38 of his throws for 224 yards.
The two-time CFP national champion was 8-of-9 for 61 yards in his game-winning drive.
Forristal caught all three of his receptions for 31 yards during that span.
Bennett appeared to throw his fifth interception on the last play before the two-minute warning, but it was negated due to a Cowboys holding penalty.

Los Angeles head coach Sean McVay admitted that Bennett needs to work on his decision-making but wasn’t shocked about his play on the game-winning drive.
“Obviously, want to be able to minimize the turnovers, but didn’t really surprise me,” McVay said.
“We were talking on the headset as coaches.
“It’s like, you know what? He’s the type of guy that’s probably gonna go lead us on a game-winning touchdown drive, and Stetson did a great job.”
