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

Decisive play in overtime

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.

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

With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into overtime.

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

  • Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime score.
  • The 23-year-old now leads the league with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
