Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.

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