Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.
