Game Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, including the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the contest into overtime.
