Game Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
