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

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

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
