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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

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

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.

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

Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.

• Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the overtime score.
• The 23-year-old now leads the league with over 1,500 yards for the season.
