Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.

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

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

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
