Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Receiver Eric Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

Seattle staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

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

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

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

Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.

  • Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial score.
  • The young star tops the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
