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

Decisive play in the extra period

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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.

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