Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.

Key Stats

  • Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime score.
  • The young star now leads the league with 1,541 yards for the campaign.
