Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the game into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
