Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.

Action Recap

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.

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

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
