Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.

Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

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

With this result, the Seattle have taken over 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 Recap

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

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

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

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

Although Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.
