Game Recap
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
