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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

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

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.

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

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

Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.

Notable Performances

• Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the overtime score.
• The 23-year-old tops the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the season.
• Nacua is runner-up with 1,367 yards, after claiming a personal-best 225 yards on 12 receptions in this game.
