Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

Seattle staged a stunning fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Action Recap

Quarterback Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.

  • The 23-year-old tops the league with 1,541 yards for the season.
