Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Receiver Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.

Key Performances

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six yards and the crucial score.
  • The young star now leads the NFL with 1,541 yards for the season.
  • Puka Nacua is second with 1,367, after claiming a personal-best 225 receiving yards on 12 catches in this contest.
