Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

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

Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.

Action Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
