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

Game-winning play in overtime

Tight end Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

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

Game Recap

Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period.

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