Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason. Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win. While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus. With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record. Action Highlights Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return. Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into overtime. Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion. Notable Performances Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the overtime score. The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with 1,541 yards for the season.
