Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs. Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win. While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus. With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record. Action Highlights Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap. In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score. Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into overtime. Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score. Key Stats Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 receiving yards and the crucial score. The 23-year-old now leads the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the season. Puka Nacua is second with 1,367 yards, after claiming a personal-best 225 receiving yards on twelve receptions in this game.
