Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
