Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.

Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.

  • Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime score.
  • The young star tops the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the season.
