Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.

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

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