Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
