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

Decisive play in overtime

Receiver Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point play for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

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

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the game into an extra period.

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

Key Stats

  • Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The 23-year-old now leads the league with 1,541 yards for the campaign.
  • Puka Nacua is runner-up with 1,367 yards, after claiming a personal-best two hundred twenty-five yards on 12 receptions in this game.
