Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play. In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular punt return. Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime. Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion. Notable Stats Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial score. The young star now leads the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign. Puka Nacua is runner-up with 1,367, adding a personal-best two hundred twenty-five yards on 12 receptions in this contest.
