In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
