Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make 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 Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion.

  • Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial score.
  • The young star now leads the league with 1,541 receiving yards for the season.
  • Puka Nacua is runner-up with 1,367, adding a personal-best two hundred twenty-five receiving yards on twelve catches in this game.
