Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

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

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
