Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point play for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.
