Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Tight end Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.

Key Performances

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The young star now leads the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the season.
