Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

Tight end Eric Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.

Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

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

Game Highlights

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

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.

  • Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the crucial score.
