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

Game-winning play in overtime

Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.

Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

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

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.

  • Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The young star tops the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
