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

Game-winning play in the extra period

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

Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the game into overtime.

Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the overtime score.
  • The young star tops the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
