Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

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

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

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

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into an extra period.

Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
