Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

Receiver Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

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

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

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