Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Tight end Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

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

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

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.

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

Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the overtime touchdown.
