Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth 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 fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into an extra period.

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