They scored two touchdowns to force overtime and then won the game on a two-point conversion after the Rams scored a touchdown to start the extra stanza.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t think we played our best football,\u201d Darnold said<\/a>. \u201cI certainly didn\u2019t play my best football. We\u2019ve got a lot of work to do there, but at the end of the day we won. That team in that locker room, all the guys in that locker room, we work so hard for moments like this.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, we\u2019ve got a lot of work to do, and we\u2019re going to continue to push and get better, but those guys in the locker room deserve a win like that against a really, really good team.\u201d<\/p>\n
