Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

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

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

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