"Through the first 15 weeks, the Seahawks looked like one of the best teams in the NFL while compiling an 11-3 record. On Thursday night, with so much on the line in one of the biggest regular-season games in recent memory, they looked like a team of destiny. The story was all but written about how Seattle was going to have to take the long road in the playoffs, with two losses to the Rams all but ending their hopes of winning the NFC West and claiming the conference's top seed, with the first-round bye and home-field advantage that comes with it."
"But the Seahawks are now in the driver's seat for both of those things after an utterly improbable comeback. It saw Seattle rally back from a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter, after the game was turning into a blowout following two Sam Darnold interceptions against the same team that picked him off four times last month at So-Fi Stadium. The Seahawks got a special-teams touchdown by Rashid Shaheed to kick off their comeback, which continued with Darnold throwing a touchdown late in regulation and another one in overtime. Mike Macdonald went for two and the win, and Darnold delivered, hitting tight end Eric Saubert in the back of the end zone, capping off a thrilling win and punching Seattle's ticket to the playoffs."
"On Thursday night, the Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Rams, 38-37, in overtime to clinch a spot in the playoffs."
