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

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four standing.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

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

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

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

Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
