Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs. Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win. While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team 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 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record. Action Highlights Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play. In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score. Darnold then found 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 responded in kind to set up the decisive score. Key Performances Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime touchdown. The young star tops the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
