Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.

Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the game into overtime.

Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.

Notable Performances

• Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime touchdown.
