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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
