Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
