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

Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Highlights

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

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial 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 Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

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

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

• Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six yards and the overtime touchdown.
• The young star tops the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the season.
