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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Recap

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
