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

Game-winning play in overtime

Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.

Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive 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 postseason after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.

Notable Stats

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the crucial score.
  • The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the season.
  • Nacua is second with 1,367 yards, adding a personal-best two hundred twenty-five yards on twelve catches in this game.
