Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

Seattle staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
