The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason. Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win. While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus. With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record. Action Highlights Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period. The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle. Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play. In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score. Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period. Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion. Notable Performances Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six yards and the overtime touchdown. The 23-year-old tops the league with over 1,500 yards for the campaign. Puka Nacua is second with 1,367, adding a career-high 225 receiving yards on twelve receptions in this contest.
