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

Decisive play in overtime

Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for the Seahawks.

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

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.

Game Recap

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

The visitors held a six-point lead at the break before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception 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 Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
