Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Tight end Eric Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.

Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

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

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, including the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

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

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

Notable Stats

  • Smith-Njigba finished with 96 yards and the crucial touchdown.
  • The young star now leads the NFL with 1,541 yards for the campaign.
  • Puka Nacua is second with 1,367, adding a career-high two hundred twenty-five yards on twelve catches in this game.
