Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

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

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth 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, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.

Key Stats

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The young star tops the league with 1,541 yards for the season.
