What. A. Game. The Los Angeles Rams (4-4) earn their biggest win of the season with a thrilling, 26-20, overtime victory against NFC West divisional rival, Seattle Seahawks.

Ninth-year wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught the game-winning touchdown pass from quarterback Matthew Stafford to walk-off the game, earning a 2-1 record in the division. Robinson finished with six catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns.

It was the second-straight week that Robinson has recorded two touchdowns, he picked up the slack after second-year wide out Puka Nacua was disqualified in the second quarter for throwing a punch on a Seahawks defender.

The Rams did not receive the ball first to start overtime. The Seahawks had a fourth and one situation deep in Rams territory and were unable to achieve the line to gain, turning the ball over. The Rams replied with a four play, 83-yard touchdown drive to walk it off.

Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was under duress all afternoon, being sacked seven times for a total of 46 yards. Rams rookie defensive tackle Braden Fiske led the team with two sacks in the win.
