Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Receiver Eric Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.

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