Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Action Highlights

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

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the game into overtime.

Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.

Notable Stats

  • Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The young star tops the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
