Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

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

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Highlights

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

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the game into overtime.

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

  • Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The 23-year-old now leads the league with 1,541 yards for the season.
