Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

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

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Action Recap

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

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

Notable Stats

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the crucial score.
  • The young star now leads the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the season.
