Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

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

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion.

Key Performances

  • Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
  • Puka Nacua is runner-up with 1,367 yards, adding a personal-best two hundred twenty-five receiving yards on twelve catches in this game.
