Both teams went three-and-out on their opening drives of overtime before Wallace’s game-ending touchdown.
Jackson was facing third-and-17 from the Los Angeles 21-yard line when he found Zay Flowers inside the 5-yard line and he fell across the goal line for the go-ahead touchdown with 1:16 left in the fourth quarter. Flowers then caught a two-point pass for a 31-28 lead.
That left enough time for Los Angeles to drive into field-goal position, and Lucas Havrisik kicked a 36-yarder with seven seconds left to tie the score 31-31.
Havrisik gave the Rams a 3-0 lead with a 27-yard field goal on their opening drive of the game.

Stafford found Cooper Kupp for a 6-yard touchdown reception and a 10-7 lead, but Jackson again took advantage of blown coverage and connected with Beckham for a 46-yard touchdown pass, moving Baltimore back ahead 14-10 with 9:40 left in the first half.
Los Angeles moved back in front 17-14 on a 7-yard touchdown reception by third-string tight end Davis Allen.
