Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, 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 post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Game Recap

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

The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.

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

Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.
