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

Decisive play in overtime

Tight end Eric Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

Seattle engineered 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 straight victory.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion.

Key Performances

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with 96 yards and the overtime score.
  • The young star tops the NFL with 1,541 yards for the season.
  • Puka Nacua is runner-up with 1,367 yards, adding a career-high two hundred twenty-five yards on 12 catches in this game.
