Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.

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

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit 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 playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

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

Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.

Notable Performances

  • Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial score.
  • The 23-year-old tops the NFL with 1,541 yards for the campaign.
  • Nacua is runner-up with 1,367 yards, after claiming a personal-best two hundred twenty-five yards on 12 catches in this game.
