The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs. Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win. While the Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence. With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record. Game Highlights Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard punt return. Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into an extra period. Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion. Key Stats Smith-Njigba finished with 96 yards and the overtime touchdown. The 23-year-old now leads the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign. Puka Nacua is runner-up with 1,367, adding a personal-best 225 yards on 12 catches in this contest.
