Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

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

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

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

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
