Game Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, including the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
