Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.

Game Recap

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
