Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

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

Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

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

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

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

Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with 96 receiving yards and the crucial score.
  • The young star tops the league with 1,541 receiving yards for the season.
