Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory. While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return. Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent 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 conversion. Key Performances Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the overtime touchdown. The 23-year-old now leads the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the season. Puka Nacua is runner-up with 1,367 yards, adding a personal-best 225 receiving yards on twelve receptions in this contest.
