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

Game-winning play in the extra period

Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.

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

Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

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

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into overtime.

Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
