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

Decisive play in overtime

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

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

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, 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 spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.

Notable Stats

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The young star tops the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
