Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.

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

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

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

Game Recap

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
