Game Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
