Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Seattle staged a stunning fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
