Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

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

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

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