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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Action Recap

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

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into overtime.

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