Game Recap

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.
