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

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

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

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

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

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.
