Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

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

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into overtime.

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

Notable Stats

  • Smith-Njigba finished with 96 yards and the crucial score.
  • The 23-year-old tops the NFL with 1,541 yards for the season.
