Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into overtime.

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

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 receiving yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The young star now leads the NFL with 1,541 receiving yards for the campaign.
