Action Recap

The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
