In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return. Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into overtime. Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion. Key Stats Smith-Njigba finished with 96 yards and the overtime score.
