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

Game-winning play in the extra period

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

Seattle staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The 23-year-old tops the league with 1,541 receiving yards for the campaign.
