Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
