Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into an extra period.

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

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the crucial score.
  • The 23-year-old tops the league with 1,541 yards for the season.
