Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into an extra period.

Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.

Key Stats

• Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with 96 receiving yards and the crucial score.
• The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the season.
