Action Highlights

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.
