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

Game-winning play in the extra period

Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.

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

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick 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 pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard punt return.

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

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