Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the game into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
