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

Decisive play in overtime

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

Seattle staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.

Notable Stats

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The young star tops the NFL with 1,541 receiving yards for the campaign.
  • Nacua is second with 1,367 yards, adding a career-high 225 yards on twelve catches in this contest.
