Game Highlights

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
