Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

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

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.

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

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial score.
