Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Seattle staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, 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 berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

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

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the game into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.
