Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a short score by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.

Key Performances

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The 23-year-old tops the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the season.
  • Nacua is runner-up with 1,367, adding a personal-best 225 receiving yards on twelve catches in this game.
