Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
