Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason. Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.

Game Highlights Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard punt return. Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into an extra period. Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion. Notable Performances Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime touchdown. The 23-year-old tops the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the season.
