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

Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

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

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.

Notable Performances

• Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the overtime touchdown.
• The 23-year-old tops the NFL with 1,541 receiving yards for the campaign.
