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

Game-winning play in the extra period

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point 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 interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion.

Key Stats

  • Smith-Njigba finished with 96 yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the season.
  • Nacua is second with 1,367, adding a personal-best 225 receiving yards on twelve catches in this game.
