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

Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Game Recap

Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into overtime.

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