Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

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

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

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