Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

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

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.

Notable Performances

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime score.
  • The 23-year-old tops the league with 1,541 receiving yards for the season.
  • Nacua is second with 1,367 yards, after claiming a career-high two hundred twenty-five receiving yards on twelve receptions in this game.
