Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
