Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

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

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.

Game Recap

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into overtime.

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