Game Recap

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
