Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Game Highlights

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

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular punt return.

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

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
