Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Tight end Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
