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

Game-winning play in the extra period

Tight end Eric Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.

Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

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

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.

Notable Performances

  • Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six yards and the overtime touchdown.
  • The young star now leads the NFL with 1,541 receiving yards for the season.
  • Puka Nacua is second with 1,367, adding a career-high two hundred twenty-five yards on twelve receptions in this contest.
