The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs. Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win. While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus. With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four standing. Action Highlights Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period. The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side. Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play. In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score. Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into an extra period. Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion. Key Stats Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the crucial score. The young star tops the league with over 1,500 yards for the season. Nacua is runner-up with 1,367 yards, after claiming a personal-best two hundred twenty-five yards on twelve catches in this game.
