Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Action Recap

Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.

Key Performances

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