The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason. Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record. Game Highlights Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap. In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard 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 Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score. Key Performances Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the overtime score. The 23-year-old tops the league with 1,541 receiving yards for the campaign. Puka Nacua is runner-up with 1,367, adding a personal-best 225 receiving yards on 12 catches in this game.
