After the game, Bennett talked about his game work.
“That was probably the weirdest game I’ve been a part of. But today I told myself that we will roll with the punches,” he told reporters, via ESPN.
“My goal was not to make mental mistakes.
“It was basically executing the offense correctly.
“There were some lapses, obviously, but in the end it was get the ball in the end zone or lose, and I think everyone fought to do that.”
