Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

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

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.

Key Performances

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The young star tops the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
