Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs. Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win. While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a two-year hiatus. With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing. Game Recap Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard return for a score. Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period. Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score. Key Performances Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime score. The 23-year-old tops the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
