Game Recap

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.
