Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into overtime.

Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
