Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

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

Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.

Key Performances

  • Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The young star tops the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
  • Puka Nacua is second with 1,367, adding a personal-best two hundred twenty-five yards on twelve receptions in this game.
