Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

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

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

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a short score by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the game into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with 96 yards and the crucial score.
  • The young star tops the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
