Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

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

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

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

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.
