Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.

Game Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
