Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Receiver Eric Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
