Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.

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

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.

Key Performances

  • Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six yards and the crucial score.
  • The young star tops the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
  • Puka Nacua is runner-up with 1,367 yards, adding a personal-best 225 receiving yards on 12 receptions in this game.
