Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

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

Seattle staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
