Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

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

Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

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