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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

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

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.
