Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.
