Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
