Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

Tight end Eric Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.

Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.

  • Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The young star tops the league with 1,541 yards for the campaign.
