Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.

  • Smith-Njigba finished with 96 receiving yards and the crucial score.
  • The 23-year-old now leads the league with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
