Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
