Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

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

Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.

Key Performances

  • 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 runner-up with 1,367, after claiming a personal-best 225 yards on 12 catches in this contest.
