Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
