Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

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

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