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

Game-winning play in overtime

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

Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

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

Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into an extra period.

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