Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

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

Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's race with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Game Recap

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

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

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.

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

Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
