In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
