Game Recap
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, including the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
