Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
