Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

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

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