Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

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

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

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

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.

Key Stats

  • Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime score.
  • The young star tops the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
  • Puka Nacua is second with 1,367, after claiming a career-high two hundred twenty-five receiving yards on 12 receptions in this contest.
