Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka 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 raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.
