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

Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

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

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, 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 pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
