Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
