Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Seattle staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, including the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.

Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
