Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

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

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

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

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.

  • Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime touchdown.
