Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

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

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

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
