Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.

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

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
