Game Recap

Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

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

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
