Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

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

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

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.

Game Recap

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.
