Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

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

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.

Key Stats

  • Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime score.
  • The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
  • Nacua is second with 1,367, adding a personal-best 225 receiving yards on twelve receptions in this game.
