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

Game-winning play in overtime

Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four standing.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

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

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the overtime score.
