Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.

Key Performances

• Smith-Njigba posted 96 receiving yards and the crucial score.
• The young star now leads the league with over 1,500 yards for the season.
• Nacua is runner-up with 1,367, after claiming a personal-best two hundred twenty-five yards on twelve catches in this contest.
