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

Decisive play in overtime

Tight end Eric Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

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

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Recap

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

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

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

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
