Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

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

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.

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

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into overtime.

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

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The young star tops the league with 1,541 receiving yards for the season.
