Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

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

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

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

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Recap

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

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

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into overtime.

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