Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs. Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win. While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus. With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing. Game Highlights Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime. The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side. Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play. In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score. Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period. Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion. Key Stats Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with 96 receiving yards and the overtime score. The 23-year-old tops the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the campaign. Nacua is second with 1,367 yards, adding a personal-best two hundred twenty-five yards on 12 receptions in this game.
