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

Decisive play in the extra period

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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

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

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.

Key Performances

  • Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The 23-year-old now leads the league with 1,541 yards for the campaign.
  • Puka Nacua is runner-up with 1,367 yards, adding a career-high two hundred twenty-five yards on twelve receptions in this contest.
