Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

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

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.

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