Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.

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

Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.

Notable Stats

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