Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad 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 Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Action Recap

Signal-caller 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 half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.

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

Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.

• The 23-year-old tops the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
