Game Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
