Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

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

Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.

Action Recap

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

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
