In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
