Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the tying TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a short score by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial score.
  • The young star tops the league with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
