The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs. Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory. While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus. With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record. Game Highlights Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap. In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return. Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into an extra period. Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion. Notable Stats Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime touchdown. The 23-year-old now leads the league with 1,541 receiving yards for the campaign. Nacua is second with 1,367, after claiming a career-high 225 yards on 12 receptions in this contest.
