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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

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

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into an extra period.

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

• Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the crucial touchdown.
• The young star now leads the league with 1,541 receiving yards for the season.
