Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

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

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

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 Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

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

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.

  • Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The young star tops the NFL with 1,541 yards for the campaign.
  • Puka Nacua is second with 1,367, after claiming a personal-best 225 yards on 12 catches in this game.
