Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.

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

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

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

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.

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