Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Receiver Eric Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into an extra period.

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