The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason. Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win. While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus. With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record. Action Highlights Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the next play. In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return. Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into an extra period. Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score. Key Stats Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the crucial score. The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign. Puka Nacua is runner-up with 1,367, adding a personal-best 225 receiving yards on 12 catches in this contest.
