Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Action Recap

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion.

• Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime score.
• The 23-year-old now leads the league with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
