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

Decisive play in overtime

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

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

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.

Key Stats

  • Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the crucial score.
  • The 23-year-old now leads the league with 1,541 yards for the campaign.
