Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
