Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

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

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

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

With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

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

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into overtime.

Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 receiving yards and the overtime score.
  • The 23-year-old tops the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
