Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

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

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

Notable Performances

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The young star now leads the league with over 1,500 yards for the season.
  • Puka Nacua is second with 1,367, adding a career-high two hundred twenty-five yards on twelve receptions in this game.
