Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
