Game Recap

Quarterback Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into an extra period.

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