Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Tight end Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point play for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.

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

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

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

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's 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 an extra period.

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

Notable Stats

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six yards and the overtime score.
  • The young star tops the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
