Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.
