The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs. Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win. While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence. With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record. Game Recap Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Corum on the next play. In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score. Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period. Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion. Key Performances Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 receiving yards and the crucial score. The young star tops the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign. Nacua is runner-up with 1,367 yards, adding a personal-best two hundred twenty-five yards on 12 catches in this game.
