Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard punt return.

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

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

Notable Performances

  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with 96 yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The young star now leads the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the season.
