Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Seattle staged a stunning fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial 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 Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into an extra period.

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