Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

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

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into an extra period.

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

Notable Performances

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 receiving yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The young star tops 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 contest.
