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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.

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

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.

Game Recap

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into an extra period.

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