Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up 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 Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.

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

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