The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs. Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory. While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence. With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing. Game Recap Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Corum on the next play. In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return. Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into an extra period. Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
