Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into an extra period.

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