Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Action Recap

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.
