Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Tight end Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for Seattle.

Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.

Notable Stats

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with 96 yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The young star now leads the NFL with 1,541 receiving yards for the season.
  • Puka Nacua is second with 1,367, adding a career-high two hundred twenty-five yards on twelve receptions in this game.
