The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason. Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory. While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus. With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record. Game Recap Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime. The visitors held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle. Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play. In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return. Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into overtime. Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score. Key Performances Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with 96 receiving yards and the overtime touchdown. The young star now leads the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the season. Puka Nacua is second with 1,367 yards, after claiming a career-high two hundred twenty-five yards on twelve catches in this game.
