Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

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

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

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

Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.

Notable Performances

• Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with 96 receiving yards and the overtime touchdown.
• The 23-year-old tops the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
