Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
