Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Seattle staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Recap

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

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

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

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

Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.

• Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial score.
