The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs. Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory. While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus. With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record. Action Recap Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime. The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for Seattle. Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play. In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return. Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into overtime. Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score. Key Stats Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with 96 receiving yards and the overtime touchdown. The 23-year-old tops the NFL with 1,541 yards for the campaign. Nacua is second with 1,367 yards, after claiming a personal-best 225 yards on 12 catches in this contest.
