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

Game-winning play in the extra period

Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings 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 Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into overtime.

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

  • Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime score.
  • The young star now leads the league with 1,541 yards for the season.
