Game-winning play in overtime

Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for Seattle.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
