Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
