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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

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

Action Recap

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

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

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into an extra period.

Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
