Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff berth 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 division's standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

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

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
