Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.

Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

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

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the crucial score.
  • The 23-year-old now leads the league with over 1,500 yards for the season.
