Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

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

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Game Recap

Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into overtime.

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