Action Recap
Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
