Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Receiver Eric Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.

  • The young star tops the league with over 1,500 yards for the season.
