Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

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

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into overtime.

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