The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs. Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win. While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus. With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four standing.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return. Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period. Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
