Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Game Recap

Quarterback Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
