Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for the Seahawks.

Game Highlights

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
