Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Seattle staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

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

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

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

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

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