Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Tight end Eric Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with 1,541 yards for the season.
