The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs. Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory. While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth 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 division's race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing. Action Highlights Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period. The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle. Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play. In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard 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 overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score. Key Stats Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime touchdown. The young star now leads the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the campaign. Nacua is second with 1,367 yards, after claiming a personal-best two hundred twenty-five receiving yards on 12 catches in this contest.
