Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 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 secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, including the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into an extra period.

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