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

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

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

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

The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
