Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
