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

Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

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

With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
