Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Tight end Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

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

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Game Recap

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

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage 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 first interception for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

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

Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
