Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.

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

Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
