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

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

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
