SEATTLE (AP) — Demarcus Robinson made a one-handed 39-yard touchdown reception in overtime, and the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Seattle Seahawks 26-20 on Sunday.

With the Rams only needing a field goal after pushing the Seahawks on fourth down on their first possession of OT, Matthew Stafford went for the win by throwing a deep ball to Robinson, who was well covered by cornerback Riq Woolen. With his free hand, Robinson grabbed the ball in the end zone and secured it as it fell to the turf.

Stafford threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns for the Rams (4-4), who have won three straight after losing four of their last five. Robinson finished the game with six catches for 94 yards and both scores.

Geno Smith threw for 363 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions for the Seahawks (4-5), who have lost four straight at home and five of six overall to fall to last place in the crowded NFC West. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had seven catches for a career-best 180 yards and two scores.

The Rams rallied from a 13-3 deficit to take a 20-13 lead on Kamren Kinchens' 103-yard interception return early in the fourth quarter, only to have the Seahawks tie it when Smith Smith-Njigba for a 14-yard touchdown touchdown with 51 seconds left.

Stafford tried to put the Rams in position for a field goal, but the shot failed just short of midfield.
