Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
