Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

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

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.

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

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