Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.
