Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive 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 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Action Recap

Quarterback Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

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

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

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

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into overtime.

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