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

Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 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 Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.

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

Although Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
