Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the game into overtime.
