Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.

Notable Stats

  • Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The young star now leads the league with 1,541 receiving yards for the season.
