Action Recap
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but 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 Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
