Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Game Recap

Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
