Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Seattle staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

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

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
