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

Decisive play in the extra period

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

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

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

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

With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.

  • Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the overtime touchdown.
