Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
