Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Receiver Eric Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four standing.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a short score by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
