The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Game Recap
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the game into overtime.
