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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome 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 triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.

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

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