Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

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

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

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

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

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

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