Game Recap
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
