Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Receiver Eric Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

Seattle staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into overtime.

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