Sam Darnold rallies Seahawks to overtime victory

Sam Darnold overcame a turnover-filled second half to lead a game-winning drive in overtime against the Rams on Thursday, completing 22 of 34 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns. The veteran signal-caller also contributed three rushes for seven yards, though his two interceptions—bringing his season total against Los Angeles to six—helped keep the game close.
Fantasy Impact:
Darnold rebounded late in the contest, connecting with AJ Barner for a 26-yard touchdown to narrow the deficit in the fourth quarter. In overtime, he marched the offense 65 yards on nine plays, capping the drive with a four-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba before finding Eric Saubert for the game-winning two-point conversion. This marked Darnold's third multi-touchdown effort in his last five games as he prepares for a Week 17 road test against the Panthers.
