Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Receiver Eric Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

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

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

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Action Recap

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

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into an extra period.

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

  • Smith-Njigba finished with 96 yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The young star now leads the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
