Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

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

Seattle staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 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 postseason after a two-year hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended 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 end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.

  • Smith-Njigba finished with 96 receiving yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The young star now leads the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
  • Puka Nacua is runner-up with 1,367 yards, after claiming a career-high two hundred twenty-five receiving yards on 12 catches in this game.
