Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.

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

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

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
