Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
