Game Recap
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first 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 Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
