Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

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

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the game into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
