SEATTLE – The Seattle Seahawks won one of their biggest home games in recent memory, taking a 38-37 overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams in a game that staked its claim as one of the best games of the 2025 NFL season.
Seattle trailed 13-7 at halftime after the Rams dominated time off possession in the first half of their Dec. 18 "Thursday Night Football" tilt.
Things were looking bleak for the Seahawks in the fourth quarter. Sam Darnold had just thrown his second interception, and the Rams held a 30-14 lead. The situation changed quickly when Rashid Shaheed fielded a punt and raced down the field for a 58-yard touchdown. The Seahawks had a successful two-point try on the ensuing play to cut their deficit to 30-22. Seattle then scored on its next drive and converted a wild two-point conversion upon official review to tie the ball game at 30-30 with 6:23 remaining in the fourth period.
Both defenses traded stops the rest of the fourth quarter, sending the game to OT.
In overtime, the Rams struck first on a 41-yard touchdown reception by Puka Nacua.
