Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Tight end Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point play for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

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

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Recap

Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.

Notable Stats

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