Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

Rams cornerback 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 fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score. Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into overtime. Although Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion. Key Stats Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six yards and the overtime touchdown. The 23-year-old now leads the league with 1,541 receiving yards for the season.
