Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.

Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

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

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

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
