Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point play for the Seahawks.

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

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka 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 end zone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into an extra period.

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

Notable Stats

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