Sam Darnold

Sam Darnold overcame a turnover-filled second half to lead a game-winning drive in overtime against the Rams on Thursday, completing 22 of 34 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns. The veteran signal-caller also contributed three rushes for seven yards, though his two interceptions—bringing his season total against Los Angeles to six—helped keep the game close.

Fantasy Impact

Darnold rebounded late in the contest, connecting with AJ Barner for a 26-yard touchdown to narrow the deficit in the fourth quarter. In overtime, he marched the offense 65 yards on nine plays, capping the drive with a four-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba before finding Eric Saubert for the game-winning two-point conversion. This marked Darnold's third multi-touchdown effort in his last five games as he prepares for a Week 17 road test against the Panthers.
