Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Receiver Eric Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.

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

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.

Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.

Notable Stats

  • Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial score.
  • The young star now leads the league with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
  • Puka Nacua is runner-up with 1,367, adding a personal-best two hundred twenty-five yards on 12 receptions in this contest.
