Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.

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

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
